ISM Code and the Safety Management System: Procedures, Audits, Non-Conformities and the Master's Review with 280 Practice Questions

By Talor Press

The ISM Code came out of casualties in which the immediate cause was a human
action and the real cause was the organisation that made that action likely.
Reading it as a response to that finding, rather than as documentation, is what
makes its structure intelligible.

Sixteen chapters cover what the Code actually requires, the skeleton every
safety management system shares, the designated person and the master's
overriding authority, procedures and checklists against the work actually done,
non-conformities and why near miss reporting matters most, internal audits and
the management review, emergency preparedness, critical equipment, resources and
familiarisation, certification and external audit, and the difference between a
system that is written and one that is lived.
