Common Requirements of Key Standards: A Tool for Integrating Management System
The integration of management systems based on ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management), and ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) is facilitated by identifying their common requirements. These standards share essential principles such as risk-based thinking, continual improvement, interested parties' requirements and compliance with legal and other obligations. By embedding these principles into organizational practices, businesses can enhance operational efficiency, ensure legal compliance, and foster long-term sustainability. Aligning shared elements like policy formulation, objective setting, and documentation processes allows organizations to streamline their management systems, reducing duplication and improving efficiency. This unified approach supports continuous growth, mitigates risks, and improves overall performance. Furthermore, aligning procedures, processes, and working methods with the requirements of the standards and legal norms brings significant advantages in quality, safety, health, and environmental protection. The focus is on interested parties’ satisfaction through the delivery of high-quality products and services. The integration of these standards also provides a better understanding and control over business processes, increases customer and partner trust, and improves operational efficiency. It strengthens the organization’s resilience to risks and enhances its overall image. The research provides a comparative analysis of individual standard requirements within the Integrated Management System (IMS), offering a valuable tool to streamline the integration of health, safety, environmental, and quality management processes. The main benefit of simultaneously implementing multiple standards is a systematic and coordinated approach, which offers several advantages: simplify administration and compliance monitoring, better integration of quality, environmental management, and occupational health and safety, promotion of continuous improvement and innovation, and more efficient legal compliance through systemized monitoring. In summary, IMS enables resource optimization, cost reduction, and increased operational efficiency, while simultaneously ensuring compliance with multiple standards.
