ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems

Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001) standards exist to help organizations minimize how their operations negatively affect the environment (cause adverse changes to air, water, or land), comply with applicable laws and regulations.

ISO 14000 is similar to ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems) in that both pertain to the process (how a product is produced) rather than to the product itself. The overall idea is to establish an organized approach to systematically reduce the impact of the environmental aspects which an organization can control. Effective tools for the analysis of environmental aspects of an organization and for the generation of options for improvement are provided by the concept of cleaner production.

ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems

Health and safety in the workplace are the number one concern of most businesses, yet still deaths and injuries occur. ISO 45001 sets the minimum standard of practice to protect employees worldwide.

What are the benefits for my business ?

ISO 45001 enables organizations to put in place an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system. This will help them manage their OH&S risks and improve their OH&S performance by developing and implementing effective policies and objectives.

Key potential benefits from use of the standard include :

• Reduction of work place incidents
• Reduced absenteeism and staff turnover, leading to increased productivity
• Reduced cost of insurance premiums
• Creation of a health and safety culture, whereby employees are encouraged to take an active role in their own OH&S
• Reinforced leadership commitment to proactively improve OH&S performance
• Ability to meet legal and regulatory requirements
• Enhanced reputation
• Improved staff morale

How does it differ from other OH&S standards ?

ISO 45001 was developed with consideration of other related standards, such as OHSAS 18001, Occupational health and safety management, the International Labour Organisation’s ILO-OSH 2001 guidelines and various national standards, and is consistent with the ILO’s international labour standards and conventions.

Developed under the ISO system, with the input of experts from more than 70 countries, it provides an international framework that takes into account the interaction between an organization and its business environment.

ISO 45001 adopts a risk-based approach that ensures it is effective and undergoes continual improvement to meet an organisation’s ever-changing context.

Can I integrate ISO 45001 into my existing management system?

ISO 45001 shares a high-level structure (HLS), identical core text and terms and definitions with other recently revised ISO management system standards such as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. This framework is designed to facilitate the integration of new management topics into an organization’s established manage- ment systems. In addition, ISO 45001 was designed to follow ISO 14001 fairly closely, as it is recognized that many organizations combine their OH&S and environmental management functions internally. This will simplify the integration of ISO 45001, particu- larly for those who are familiar with ISO 14001.

Information Security Management Systems (ISO 27001) is a security management standard that specifies security management best practices and comprehensive security controls.

ISO 27001 Certification requires the organisations to:

• Systemsatically evaluate the information security risks, taking into account the impact of company threats and vulnerabilities

Integrated Management Systems

If your organization is currently having several management systems that are not integrated, you probably have separate audits for separate systems on separate days. This results in more downtime for your internal teams, more paperwork and less time actually doing business. An integrated system audit takes cumulatively less time than individual standard audits as each function of the organisation only needs to be seen once for all standards covered.

IMS (Integrated Management Systems) integrates all relevant components of a business into one coherent system so as to enable the optimal achievement of its business objectives. The integrated approach requires combining all the internal business management practices into one system. For the different systems to be properly integrated, rather than simply being separate systems joined together, there have to be effective linkages so that the boundaries between processes are seamless.

IMS is designed to:

• Ensure focus on business goals & objectives
• Harmonise and optimise practices
• Reduce risks to the business and increase profitability
• Balance conflicting objectives
• Eliminate conflicting responsibilities and relationships
• Reduce duplication and therefore costs
• Create consistency
• Improve communications
• Facilitate training and development
