About
ISO 9001
Originally published in 1987 by
the International Organization
for Standardization, ISO 9001 is
a generic quality systems
standard that specifies, in very
broad terms, the necessary
components of a quality
management system. Rather than
being specific to any one
industry, ISO 9000 details the
basic requirements of the
quality function for all
industries. ISO 9001 gives you
the tools to grow a better
business through continuous
improvement and refined
processes. The latest version of
ISO 9001 is ISO 9001:2008. Today
more than 500,000 businesses
have achieved ISO 9001
certification throughout the
world, making it by far the most
recognized symbol for quality in
the global marketplace.

About
SA 8000
Globalization of business,
whilst providing significant
benefits to organizations, has
brought new challenges and
risks. As supply chains become
more complex, it is increasingly
difficult to ensure transparent
management practices in every
market.
Recently, many high profile
multi-nationals have been
implicated in scandals involving
the use of child labor,
discriminatory work practices or
enforced labor within their
supply chains.
Consumer pressure, NGO scrutiny
and the media, amongst others,
are all placing business under
the microscope in terms of the
management of Social
Accountability issues and CSR.
The most respected standard in
the field of Social
Accountability is Social
Accountability International’s
SA8000 standard.

About
OHSAS 18001
The (OHSAS) specification gives
clearer direction to an
occupational health and safety
management system. OHSAS 18001
is an audit/certification
specification, not a legislative
requirement or a guide to
implementation. It should be
noted that OHSAS 18001 does not
state specific performance
criteria, or give detailed
specifications for the design of
a management system. Instead,
the system is geared towards
reducing and preventing
accidents and accident-related
loss of lives, resources, and
time.
OHSAS 18001 has been developed
to be compatible with the ISO
9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001
(Environmental) management
systems standards. It is its
hope that any organization that
implements OHSAS 18001 can
easily integrate it with other
quality, environmental or
occupational health and safety
management systems. The OHSAS
18001 Specification follows the
Plan-Do-Check-Review cycle, with
a concurrent emphasis on
continual improvement. This
model aligns well with the
structure of other management
system documents such as ISO
14001, thus aiding the progress
of integrated management
systems.
The elements of OHSAS 18001
includes Policy and commitment,
Hazard identification, risk
assessment & risk controls,
Legal requirements, Objectives
and Programs, Organization and
personnel, Training,
Communication and Consultation,
Documentation and records,
Operational Controls, Emergency
Readiness, Measurement and
monitoring, Accident and
incident investigation,
corrective and preventive
action, Audit and Review, and
Application and Relevance in the
Industry.

About
ISO 14001
Protection of the environment is
one of society's key goals. A
significant increase in
environmental awareness and
stricter environmental
regulations has led many
organizations to integrate
environmental protection into
their corporate management
systems structure.
Leading corporations have been
utilizing environmental
management systems (EMS) for
years to help them reach defined
environmental objectives. Now, a
streamlined environmental
management tool is available to
all corporations in the form of
ISO 14001, an internationally
recognized environmental
management system conformance
standard. Very similar in
structure to the ISO 9001
quality management system
standard, ISO 14001 outlines key
requirements to which companies
should comply in order to
operate in an environmentally
responsible manner.
The ISO 14000 elements provide
diverse organizations a
framework for managing and
continually improving their
environmental programs. Many
companies already monitor air
and water permits, or toxic use
reduction programs. Utilizing
ISO 14001, companies can now
merge environmental programs
into one coherent system to
efficiently manage all
environmental activities.
In short, ISO 14001 can provide
your company a competitive
advantage, by demonstrating to
your customers that your
environmental processes and
impact is effectively managed,
continually improving, and part
of the corporate management
system. (See
