ISO 9001 Quality

ISO 9001 is by far the world's most established quality framework currently being used by over ¾ million organizations in 161 countries. It sets the standard not only for quality management systems but management systems in general.

A quality management system gives you the framework you need to monitor and improve performance in any area you choose. It helps all organizations to succeed through increasing market share, driving down costs, managing risk more effectively and improving customer and staff satisfaction.

ISO 9001 is one of a series of quality management system standards. It can help bring out the best in your organization by enabling you to understand your processes for delivering your products/services to your customers. The ISO 9001 series of standards consist of:

• ISO 9000 - Fundamentals and Vocabulary: this introduces the user to the concepts behind the management systems and specifies the terminology used.
• ISO 9001 - Requirements: this sets out the criteria you will need to meet if you wish to operate in accordance with the standard and gain certification.
• ISO 9004 - Guidelines for performance improvement: based upon the eight quality management principles, these are designed to be used by senior management as a framework to guide their organizations towards improved performance by considering the needs of all interested parties, not just customers.

OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety

Many organizations are implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) as part of their risk management strategy to address changing legislation, protect their workforce, reduce accidents and improve overall performance.

OHSAS 18001 is the internationally recognized assessment specification for occupational health and safety management systems. It was developed by a selection of leading trade bodies, international standards and certification bodies to address a gap where no third-party certifiable international standard exists.

OHSAS 18001 has been designed to be compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, to help your organization meet their health and safety obligations in an efficient manner.

The following key areas are addressed by OHSAS 18001:

• Planning for hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control
• OHSAS management program
• Structure and responsibility
• Training, awareness and competence
• Consultation and communication
• Operational control
• Emergency preparedness and response
• Performance measuring, monitoring and improvement

Certifying your OHSAS 18001 management system enables your organization to prove that it conforms to the specification and provides the following benefits:

• Potential reduction in the number of accidents
• Potential reduction in downtime and associated costs
• Demonstration of legal and regulatory compliance
• Demonstration to stakeholders of your commitment to health and safety
• Demonstration of an innovative and forward thinking approach
• Increased access to new customers and business partners
• Better management of health and safety risks, now and in the future
