This paper discusses the strategies for integrating Quality, Environmental, Safety and Health Management Systems based on survey and case studies results. Questionnaires were distributed to 87 companies that certified with both ISO9001 and ISO14001. Meanwhile, three case studies were conducted at the manufacturing companies that have integrated several management systems. There are two ways of integrating the management systems which are: (1) consecutive implementation of management systems followed by integration or (2) integrate the management systems simultaneously from the beginning. Based on survey and case studies, it was found that many organisations started with implementing individual management system first, and then followed by integrating the management systems. Almost all the survey respondents agreed that the sequence should start with establishing Quality Management System first, and then integrate with Environmental Management System and followed by Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

  • D.T Dyjack + 3 more

Numerous manufacturing and service organizations have integrated or are considering integration of their respective occupational health and safety management and audit systems into the International Organization for Standardization-based (ISO) audit-driven Quality Management Systems (ISO 9000) or Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14000) models. Companies considering one of these options will likely need to identify and evaluate several key factors before embarking on such efforts. The purpose of this article is to identify and address the key factors through a case study approach. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons of the key features of the American Industrial Hygiene Association ISO-9001 harmonized Occupational Health and Safety Management System with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. management and audit system were conducted. The comparisons showed that the two management systems and their respective audit protocols, although structured differently, were not substantially statistically dissimilar in content. The authors recommend that future studies continue to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of various audit protocols. Ideally, these studies would identify those audit outcome measures that can be reliably correlated with health and safety performance.

  • International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Safety
  • J P T Domingues + 2 more

The systematic assurance of the occupational health, safety and wellbeing of the employees may be accomplished through the implementation (and certification) of standardized occupational health and safety management systems in accordance with the requirements listed in the BS OHSAS 18001 standard. In Portugal the certification of occupational health and safety management systems is usually carried out against the requirements of the BS OHSAS 18001 and the NP 4397 standard which is a national adaptation of the former. The purpose of this paper is to "snapshot" the diffusion of the certified occupational health and safety management systems in Portugal dissecting the following features: regional geographic location, integration phenomenon, evolution throughout the years, more involved activity sectors, more often found integrated management systems typologies and the most relevant and active certification bodies. To address this research goal a thorough, in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the data available in a Portuguese periodical publication (Barómetro da Certificação) was carried out. Results show that a great deal of the certified occupational health and safety management systems (96.3%) is integrated (in the sense that encompasses a multiple certification scheme). However the occupational health and safety management system is not typically the primordial subsystem of an integrated management system. In our view these results provide insights to the companies' top management. On one hand, it seems that a patterned and "logical" path is pursued by the companies that seek organizational excellence- management systems integration. On the other hand, it seems that previously implemented subsystems, such as the quality management system, facilitate a "smoother" integration process encompassing the occupational health and safety management system.

  • Filipe Carvalho + 2 more

The aim of this work was to determine the nature of the content that is often disseminated and the profile of a typical Portuguese firm which disseminates information on integrated management systems (IMS), environmental policy, corporate sustainability (CS), and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on its corporate website, towards sustainable development. The investigation consists of an exploratory analysis of 523 firms' websites that were certified by 2011, under the quality (ISO 9001), environment (ISO 14001), and occupational health and safety (OHSAS 18001) management systems. Four hundred twenty‐two firms from the overall population constitute a sample (n). The research method was based on the technique of content analysis, which allowed quantifying the contents of the information disclosed on the firm's website by category and subcategories of analysis. A holistic view on the size of the content available on the firm's website was determined using the index of information disclosure (IIDIMS/CS/CSR). As main findings, we can highlight management systems having been reported by 388 (91.9%) firms; quality management system, having been reported by 360 (85.3%) firms; environmental management system that contains environmental policy having been reported by 337 (79.9%) firms; and occupational health and safety management systems, which were disclosed by 332 (78.7%) firms. Another important finding is that disclosure of information on IMS/CS/CSR, on certified firms' website QEOHS, is more prominent when the dimension (size) of the firm is greater and when the legal form (structure) of the firm is a corporation.In terms of theoretical assumptions to the contribution to the knowledge, it can be highlighted the mathematical foundation of the IID for IMS that was developed.

An integrated safety, health, environment and quality management system for a multi-business packaging organisation in South Africa
  • May 1, 2023
  • Manikam Michael Nadar

Organisations operate in a challenging and competitive environment that are primarily driven by the markets that the organisation serves, and these organisations rely on management systems to provide strategic direction that aligns with the goals of the organisation. As such, organisations typically progressively implement independently managed safety, health, environment, and quality management systems. However, these standalone management systems work in silos that are not synergised and can achieve improved outcomes if integrated into one coherent integrated management system (IMS) that is aligned to the strategic goals of the organisation. The theoretical framework of the study was based on the systems theory that views an organisation as an open system, that consists of sub systems that are sequenced and interact to form a holistic system that contributes to a final output. The conceptual framework was based on existing researched models to gain insight on the different IMS models as well as the challenges and benefits experienced by organisations globally in implementing an IMS. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the researched organisation’s independent safety, and health, environment, and quality (SHEQ) management systems were researched to contextualise the organisation. A mixed research methodology was used to gain an understanding of the current independent management systems and the challenges that the researched organisation faces towards implementing an integrated IMS. The challenges associated with the organization's independently management systems include ineffective use of resources, duplication of work, and the difficulty of managing independent systems. An IMS will address these challenges, however, implementing an IMS may pose challenges such as resistance to change and inadequate expertise. The management of change and the proposed structured IMS model together with the provision of the required skills and knowledge will aid in ensuring the successful implementation of the IMS. An organisation must have clear IMS objectives that must be aligned to the strategic goals of the organisation, to ensure better, utilisation of the organisation’s resources, management of cost, reduction in documentation and a change in the organisation’s SHEQ culture. The fourth industrial revolution provides an opportunity for the organisation to use a cloud-based document management system to enhance the organisation’s IMS. Findings of the research support the notion of an IMS. Based on the researched models and the qualitative and quantitative research, a multi-dimension IMS model was formulated using the systems theory, and proposed strategies was articulated, that the researched organisation can adopt to implement an IMS. This study ascertained how the three-standalone safety, and health, environment and quality management systems can be unified into an integrated multi-dimensional model that could be possibly adopted by the metal division of the organisation across three business units located in three South African provinces. The successful implementation of the IMS will involve reviewing the existing staff structure, integration of the existing documentation based on the proposed IMS model, conducting a SHEQ management review and auditing. The research has extended the IMS theory by contributing knowledge on the IMS organisation structure, IMS document structure, IMS structure, proposed ISO IMS requirements and a proposed IMS model.

Comparing Occupational Health and Safety Management System Programming with Injury Rates in Poultry Production
  • Jul 13, 2016
  • Journal of Agromedicine
  • Daniel A Autenrieth + 4 more

ABSTRACTEffective methods to reduce work-related injuries and illnesses in animal production agriculture are sorely needed. One approach that may be helpful for agriculture producers is the adoption of occupational health and safety management systems. In this replication study, the authors compared the injury rates on 32 poultry growing operations with the level of occupational health and safety management system programming at each farm. Overall correlations between injury rates and programming level were determined, as were correlations between individual management system subcomponents to ascertain which parts might be the most useful for poultry producers. It was found that, in general, higher levels of occupational health and safety management system programming were associated with lower rates of workplace injuries and illnesses, and that Management Leadership was the system subcomponent with the strongest correlation. The strength and significance of the observed associations were greater on poultry farms with more complete management system assessments. These findings are similar to those from a previous study of the dairy production industry, suggesting that occupational health and safety management systems may hold promise as a comprehensive way for producers to improve occupational health and safety performance. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of such systems to reduce farm work injuries and illnesses. These results are timely given the increasing focus on occupational safety and health management systems.
