SafeFab provides comprehensive Quality, Environmental and Safety management systems consultation. This includes ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and the emerging OHSAS 18001.
According to the International Organization for Standardization:
"The ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families are among ISO's most
widely known standards ever. ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 standards are implemented
by some 634 000 organizations in 152 countries. ISO 9000 has become an
international reference for quality management requirements in
business-to-business dealings, and ISO 14000 is well on the way to achieving as
much, if not more, in enabling organizations to meet their environmental
challenges.
The ISO 9000 family is
primarily concerned with "quality management".
This means what the organization does to fulfil:
- the customer's quality requirements, and
- applicable
regulatory requirements, while aiming to
- enhance customer satisfaction, and
- achieve continual improvement of its performance in pursuit of these
objectives.
The ISO 14000 family is
primarily concerned with "environmental
management". This means what the organization does to:
- minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its
activities, and to
- achieve continual improvement of its environmental
performance.
The vast majority of ISO standards are highly specific to a
particular product, material, or process. However, the standards that have
earned the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families a worldwide reputation are known as
"generic management system standards".
SafeFab
can help you design an ISO 9001:2000 compliant Quality Management System (QMS)
as well as a system for ISO14001 and prepare all of the required documentation. We can help to deploy the QMS,
conduct ISO audits, and provide training to the process owners and internal
auditors.
What is OHSAS 18000?
In a nutshell, Occupational Health and Safety Series (OHSAS) 18000 sets the
expectations for a comprehensive Safety Management System. While it has
different facets, at its core is the need for a systematic method to assess
hazards, assign risk and of course reduce & control risk.
Why is OHSAS 18000 important to your business?
Perhaps the operative question for you to ask is “When will my customer be
asking us to certify that we meet OHSAS 18000?” Probably sooner than you think.
18000 seems to be following the natural progression of ISO 9000 and 14000
management system deployment. OHSAS 18000 appears to be the missing component
in compliance management systems and will likely be the unifying expectation
that draws together many of the divergent safety requirements that you already
face in different operating theatres around the world.
