INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

An ever-increasing number of businesses are looking to incorporate more than one ISO Certification into their business. At Jeff Ayres & Associates we can implement a fully integrated system that includes Quality Management (ISO9001:2015), Environmental Management ( ISO14001:2015) and Health and Safety assessment specifications. (OHSAS 45001 (18001).

The advantages of taking such an approach are that you can streamline processes of implementing ISO certifications by overlapping processes, only requiring one set of documents, resulting in more control, less effort and reduced costs. An Integrated Management System can benefit your organisation through increased efficiency and cost reductions while minimising the disruption caused by several external audits. It also shows your commitment to increased performance, employee and customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement.

From managing employees’ needs, to monitoring risks and hazards, from reducing inefficiencies and maximizing resources, an integrated approach can help you achieve your objectives. An integrated system provides a clear, uniform image of your entire organisation, how they impact each other, and the associated risks. Efficiency is gained from less duplication, and it becomes easier to adopt new systems in future. We are currently assisting a number of forward looking organisations in combining Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety activities into a single management system, which can provide the following additional benefits: –
