As the global community recognises the ever-growing need to demonstrate compliance, there is increasing dialogue around the value of management system certification and more importantly, how businesses can manage their management systems most effectively.
Implementing an integrated management system that features a number of ISO standards, such as including ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental management), ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety), and ISO 27001 (information security), can help to drive efficiency and improve collaboration between teams.
In a recent webinar, industry experts from LRQA, Management Systems Trainer, Paul Smith and Auditor Manager, Bill Barnes, discussed the benefits of adopting an integrated management system (IMS). In this FAQ, Bill and Paul share their answers to audience questions, including:
- What role is responsible for maintaining and continually improving the IMS?
- How to approach different scopes and audit stages?
- Best practice for managing policies and management review.
