3D Process: Develop

Develop CSMS Components

Now that you have the basic design of the CSMS completed, it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty by completing the "6-P's." Yes, another acronym!

Illustration of the 3P CSMS process
The second phase in the 3D process is to develop the CSMS.

Using the 6-P development model, we can systematically complete the following components:

Plans, Programs, Policies, Processes, Procedures and Practices.

In most instances, a safety professional will be responsible to assist others, but it's important to understand that development of the CSMS should not be a "one person show" - others, from top management, to employees should be involved in the development phase.

The outcome of the development phase is a formal comprehensive written CSMS Plan containing all components of the CSMS. This will serve as the primary document that everyone at all levels in the company will use to help them fulfill their own safety responsibilities.
