1. International Safety Rating System

2. ISRS benefits
A management system is a framework of controls to manage key processes, organizational risks and drive continual improvement. The management system is important to the operation of every business because it guides the behavior of personnel in the organization. The management system is the management team’s main tool for ensuring safe and sustainable operations. The challenge facing organizations is “How can we get our management system to work more effectively?”

3. The ISRS contains 30 years of best practice experience in safety and sustainability management. Using ISRS gives necessary personnel the ability to measure, improve and demonstrate the implementation of their management system. Using the associated ISRS Summit networked software, managers can monitor system implementation online across all sites in the organization, providing valuable information for decision support.

6. Assessment
An ISRS assessment is a thorough evaluation of these questions and involves interviews with process owners where the questions are scored and commented. The scope of the assessment is entirely flexible determined by the size and complexity of the organization and the management team’s requirements. Detailed verification is conducted and organizations must be prepared to offer evidence to support their answers. The process scores determine an overall level of performance between one and ten. The results provide a detailed measure of performance and a gap analysis against the organization’s desired level of performance. This becomes the planning basis for improvement during the next period.
