Purpose of the SMS
Purpose
All staff involved
can talk on safety
using the same
language.
It reduces the need for
“safety experts” as
safety management
then becomes line
management’s
responsibility.
MTR Corporation Limited
It provides a workable
framework for managing
safety in a systematic,
proactive and consistent
manner, so that the Safety
Policy can be effectively
implemented.
It allows
management to
manage safety
systematically like all
other critical aspects
of the business.

to be as intrinsically robust as practicable

safe operation of the Railway
