The Integrated Safety Management or ISM Plan is the master document that guides our division’s environment, safety, and health policies and practices. The guiding principles and core functions shown below are the key to understanding ISM.

On this page you can also download the ATAP ISM Plan. We encourage all employees to familiarize themselves with it.

ISM Guiding Principles

  • Line-management responsibility for safety
  • Clear roles and responsibilities
  • Competence commensurate with responsibilities
  • Balanced Priorities
  • Identification of ES&H standards and requirements
  • Hazard controls (including environmental controls) tailored to work being performed
  • Operations authorization

ISM Core Functions

Five Core Functions of integrated ES&H management underlie any work that could affect the public, the workers, and the environment:

  1. Define the Scope of Work
  2. Analyze the Hazards
  3. Develop and Implement Hazard Controls (including environmental controls)
  4. Perform Work within Control
  5. Provide Feedback and Continuous Improvement
