A VMS is a managerial safety visit.
Here are a few figures on these processes:
6️⃣ once a year, managers carry out VMS
3️⃣ objectives are targeted
8️⃣ stages structure the process
Two recent examples:
Tuesday April 15, 2025: visit to a hydrocarbon separator maintenance site at Keos by autosphere, a Renault dealership in Reims. An opportunity to raise awareness of ADR risks.
Monday April 28, 2025: OFIS, commissioned by Dalkia, works on the Letulle building at the AP-HP's Raymond-Poincaré Hospital in Garches (Hauts-de-Seine) to map hot and cold sanitary water.
A managerial safety visit (VMS) has three objectives:
- Promote a safety culture among teams
- Visibly involve managers in safety actions
- Make management's presence in the field more effective.
