Integrated Management System ( Effective Implementation + Auditing of ISO 9001 , 14001 + OHSAS 18001)

Introduction

What is an integrated management system? An integrated business management system focuses on competitive advantage, employing common processes to efficiently manage and optimize performance. This five-day workshop focuses on the integration of the standards. The intent is not to teach the “shells” of each standard, but rather to understand how the requirements and clauses are integrated and their impact on audit systems and the auditing process. Other topics include audit systems, the auditing process and auditing instruments; the documentation process; conducting an audit; writing an audit report, and taking corrective action.

A growing body of information indicates that organizations integrate their Environmental Management System (EMS), Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OH&SMS)and Quality Management Systems (QMS) can realize significant benefits such as streamlined operations and decision-making, simplified documentation, more efficient use of resources,    reduction in audit costs and greater cohesiveness.   Internal audits are fundamental to all management systems as they are a means to establish the status of conformity. This course advocates an integrated approach to minimize disruptions to operations, as well as a process risk and performance-based approach that is especially helpful in identifying weak links between processes and opportunities for improvement.

Objectives

This training will provide delegates:

• The competencies are necessary to conduct an integrated management systems (IMS) audit based on the management system standards i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001.
• Knowledge and practical skills are necessary to conduct an integrated process-based audit.
• An understanding of auditing protocols and practice based on ISO 19011.
• Perform IMS auditing with the skills and methodology acquired;
• Demonstrate the process-based approach in auditing
• Develop and implement an effective internal audit program in line with  ISO 19011and the concept of Plan- Do-Check-Act (PDCA)

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
