Integrated management systems as a basis for sustainable development

Abstract

The issue of the urgency of the development and implementation of an integrated type of systems into management systems that combine mechanisms of safety management and hygiene of production processes and environmental safety were considered. Considering the purposes of sustainable development that form the priority directions of development of society, economy, industry and nature management, five main blocks that are responsible for the development of such areas as “SOCIETY”, “HEALTH”, “FINANCE”, “LABOR PROTECTION”, “ECOLOGY” are identified. All of these directions are cemented and have an extensive spectrum for cooperation and development, thanks for their combination, based on the security aspect. Therefore, among the sustainable development purposes there is one more parameter that influences the achievement of the set purposes, the factor “SAFETY” that integrates all the previously defined directions. An effective security strategy today is a risk-oriented approach based on risk assessment and selected strategies for influencing them. The using of integrated systems of enterprise management that combine the impact on the safety and hygiene of production processes and environmental safety of production, especially in industries with remote environmental impacts and significant health consequences for employees engaged in these industries allows to consider the issues of assessing existing and predicting the emergence of new risks more weighed, more reasonably and with less amount of resources.
