Safety of workers is a major concern for the management in industries. Management should be proactive in identifying, managing and controlling hazards and associated risks. Organizations implement safety management for managing safety functions in order to achieve performance excellence by reducing and preventing accident. Major safety management practices are employee involvement, pre and post task safety reviews, safe work procedures, safety training, communication and information sharing, accident investigation, detection and monitoring and safe task assignment. Safety management practices not only improve working conditions but also positively influence employee’s attitudes and behavior with regard to safety, thereby reducing accidents in workplace. This paper explores the impact of implementing safety management systems on industrial accidents. The safety management system is interacted with by individual workers through their participation and engagement in the system. The effectiveness of safety management practices in reducing accident rate depends on the levels of worker engagement. The perceptions of workers also affect the safety performance of the organization. Increased levels of worker engagements in safety activities will leads to increased safety performance.
