What is an Integrated
Management System?
An
integrated management system merges Environmental
Management System (ISO 14000), Occupational Health and
Safety Assessment System (OHSAS 18001), and/or the
Quality Management System (ISO 9000) requirements
together into one management system. The significant
similarities and overlap between these systems
facilitates integration. An integrated management system
provides ease of requirement assimilation, delivers a
consistent message, and unites redundant processes.What are
