Asset management
Asset management is a business discipline organisations use to assure that their physical assets are both ‘safe to use’ and ‘able to fulfil their intended purpose’.
Asset management is a key element of any organisation’s safety management system. It is used to manage the risks associated with the design, use and disposal of physical assets throughout their lifecycle.
