Integrating Quality, Environmental, Health, and Safety Systems

Integrating Quality, Environmental, Health, and Safety Systems shows you how to take advantage of the similarities that exist between the three systems and how to integrate your quality, environmental, and health and safety activities into one efficient system. You'll discover how closely connected these standards actually are, and you'll get the checklists you need to implement the standards, including a checklist designed for use by your own internal auditors. Each standard-ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), and OHSAS 18001 (health and safety)-gets its own comprehensive chapter where you'll find a detailed examination of the standard's elements, including what each required element means and how to conform with each of the requirements. Use each chapter as a stand-alone guide for implementing and auditing each standard or as a catalyst to move toward the next step-SQE integration. Once you've started the integration process, you can rely on the comprehensive checklists to implement the standards and monitor your progress. Both implementation and auditing checklists for each of the three standards provide your company with an easy-to-use support system for ensuring all necessary steps are being taken. Use each of the checklists in the notebook as they are, or carry the more portable, interactive versions, featured on the accompanying CD-ROM, when you travel to other locations.
