An
Integrated Management System (IMS)
is a framework that combines various aspects of business management into a single coherent system. This allows organizations to work with a single system that covers multiple standards, such as those for quality, environment and workplace safety. In general, an IMS is based on the integration of three main ISO standards:
- ISO 9001: for quality management, which focuses on eight fundamental principles including customer focus, staff involvement, and continuous improvement
- ISO 14001: for environmental management, which helps organizations minimize the negative impact of their operations on the environment, comply with applicable laws and continuously improve in this area
- ISO 45001 (formerly OHSAS 18001): for workplace safety management, which provides a framework to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks and create better working conditions.
Adopting an IMS offers several advantages, including:
-
Avoid duplication
: reduces overlap and duplication of processes, as procedures can be standardized and applied crosswise.
-
Prevent conflicts
: eliminates or minimizes conflicts between standards that might be independent of each other.
-
Create synergies
: improves efficiency through the creation of synergies between different management stages, such as training, audit review and documentation.
-
Reduce costs and times
: can lead to a reduction in overall times and costs for certification visits.
Furthermore, an IMS can help companies operate more effectively and efficiently, keeping business processes and activities under control and improving the ability to assess and manage risks.
Analyze the organization and identify the elements/scenarios that can cause damage (hazards)
Decide how likely it is that someone/something could suffer damage and how serious it could be
Balance the measures needed to control the risk in terms of costs, time or difficulty
Record significant results (hazards, damage to people/things and the related control measures)
Ensure that the controls work and update the assessment if they are no longer effective
