The safety management system in 16 Estonian enterprises was analysed using the MISHA method. The statistical analysis was conducted for the interpretation of the results on health and safety level in OHSAS 18001 certified and non-certified enterprises. A new learning package “training through the questionnaires” has been worked out for the top and middle managers’ to improve their safety knowledge, where the MISHA questionnaire has been taken as the basis. The tool assists SMEs with health and safety requirements according to the legislation, good practices and tacit knowledge.
