This booklet explains how London P&I views systemic failures in a Safety Management System, why they matter, and how they can be reduced through better planning, oversight and permit to work controls.

It sets out the consequences of weak systems, the importance of regular review and internal audit, and the practical steps shipboard and shore teams can take to prevent repeat incidents.
