Overview
There has been an increasing interest in recent years in the development of "integrated" management systems, combining into a single system area such as quality, environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management, which may traditionally have each been the subject of a separate set of management arrangements and procedures. This can realise benefits in having full management of quality, environmental and OHS issues within your organisation.

What is an Integrated Management System (IMS)?
There are common elements across quality, environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management systems which can be grouped together to create a full business management system involving core areas.

For the workforce this approach offers the advantage of a single set of procedural documentation or process maps combining Quality, Environmental and OHS aspects of their tasks; at management level it provides the opportunity to integrate management processes such as target setting and system review, and to more effectively address the inter-relation between the various disciplines.
