The article is intended for those who are not safety professionals but are responsible for safety management in a small or medium enterprise (SME) of the process industry. It assumes that a SME is loosely coupled and of low complexity and has a small number of major hazards present in it. The article describes Elementary Safety Management (ESM) as a combination of activities that maintain openness to safety impulses with Elementary Risk Control (ERC). ERC uses four milestones and three rules to get to the necessary and sufficient selection of control measures, which will achieve an acceptable level of risk. To make the ESM scheme as simple as possible, the term causal event is used, which is derived from the term causal factor. Practical Safety Management (PrSM) adds to the ESM the knowledge and skills that a person, who is supposed to design and implement a safety management system, needs. The PrSM procedure is developed to identify optimum controls. The procedure recognizes the unavoidable role of commitment to safety, respects the role of hazard identification, and integrates prospective and retrospective analyses and current knowledge of safety management systems. Examples of application of the procedure are given in the article.

本文适用于那些不是安全专业人员，但负责过程工业中小型企业（SME）安全管理的人员。它假定SME是松散耦合的，并且复杂度较低，并且存在少量主要危害。本文将基本安全管理（ESM）描述为与基本风险控制（ERC）保持对安全冲动保持开放性的活动的组合。ERC使用四个里程碑和三个规则来获得必要和足够的控制措施选择，这将使风险达到可接受的水平。为了使ESM方案尽可能简单，使用了因果事件一词，该事件由因果因数得出。实用安全管理（PrSM）为ESM增加了一个人的知识和技能，应该由谁来设计和实施安全管理体系。开发PrSM程序以识别最佳控制。该程序认识到安全承诺不可避免的作用，尊重危害识别的作用，并整合了前瞻性和回顾性分析以及安全管理体系的当前知识。本文提供了该过程的应用示例。
