Some Barriers to Integration Perception: Can a good Environmental/Quality/H&S Manager cut it running an IMS? Fear: Is this a cleaver way to ‘right size’ the organisation? Too Hard: Sound fantastic Mike but… Lack of Control: Nice try Mike but I’ve just spent the last 5 years trying to get everyone to follow the Q/E/H&S procedures – we need to maintain the focus not dilute it!

Implementing an IMS Write a policy for the IMS Define the system – write a well structured manual to act as your ‘instruction book’ Make sure you have well developed process understanding Install common system elements

Benefits of an IMS Encourages risk management across the business Gives a competitive edge – more holistic approach to business management Stakeholder satisfaction – systemic approach to risk, governance across the business Common goals across the business You should not integrate to save a few £££ on Certifications costs!

What the Certification Bodies didn’t tell you! Still need to be certified 3 times (i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001) Probably will not make any kind of cost saving Not all auditors are multi skilled (you may get 2-3 auditors) – Are all auditors competent to audit your business?

So in conclusion PAS 99 – Simple framework to use Genuinely drives a risk based approach to management Simplifies systems Can lead to internal savings But… Translate your system Ensure common processes Ensure correct competencies are sustained
