Youre 60% closer to ISO 14001

and OHSAS 18001 Certification
60% of the work is virtually done!
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 are all management system standards and therefore have many
requirements in common. Your organization may choose to use the same processes, procedures and
tools to manage the common requirements across different management systems. Use the table below to
see the common elements between the three management systems. Requirements in ISO 14001 and
OSHAS 18001 that have great potential to be based on existing processes in your ISO 9001 Quality
Management System are highlighted.

Integration
Many companies, (especially those with a mature system that has been in place for a few years)
choose to combine their QMS, EMS or OHSMS to create an integrated business management
system.
The benefits of this approach include:
More efficient use of resources
Sharing of best practices
Reducing / eliminating system redundancies
Common practices less confusion, better understanding
Less expensive audits
If integration is something you have in mind, discuss your needs with your SAI Global account
manager.
