Integrated Systems Management Occupational Health and Safety, Environment and Quality
Any failure in industrial type operation can have an impact on product quality, but also can have them in the safety and health of workers and the environment. It is also true that certain activities that increase productivity or quality may adversely affect the safety or the environment and vice versa.
Company you need to do is to look for alternatives to ensure the safety and environmental protection while increasing productivity and quality. What seems a trend found is that companies with quality management systems in place or environment, are more receptive to the systems of safety management and occupational health.

can be established, however, the following matches in the above management systems (INSHT, 1996):
- Existence of a commitment and leadership from management, only if the direction of the organization is committed to be achieved success.
- The management system should be immersed in a process of innovation and continuous improvement.
- is largely based on preventive action and not the remedy. It
- applied at all stages of the life cycle of products and at all stages of production processes.
- system must be measurable. It will only be effective if it is able to measure and assess the situation in which we are, and where we go. In all three areas, the assessment techniques are similar, and even some identical.
- involvement should be for all people working in an organization is unlikely to achieve success without the participation of all staff quality, environment or safety, as it is an ongoing and integrated into the whole structure of the organization.
- Training is the primary key of all aspects that are developed in organizations.
1. Constraints of the integration process.
However, in the process of integration will be necessary to take into account a number of conditions that have different influences on the management and subject to the business organization.
However, in the process of integration will be necessary to take into account a number of conditions that have different influences on the management and subject to the business organization.
In this sense we can consider the following conditions:
- binding legislative framework regulatory and voluntary. Different quality, environment and safety. Thus, as the regulatory framework is weak although the voluntary policy is broad, while in environmental management have a comprehensive legislative and policy development under voluntary as well as the safety and health at work is also a comprehensive legislative development regulatory and voluntary low.
- current organizational approach. As there is usually a charge, and a quality department with a comprehensive methodological development and a strong product testing activity and supervisory methods, supported by documentary structure wide. However, there are often environmentally responsible resources shared with other functions and also only in areas with high impact on the environment. The environment is geared towards advising on facilities and products, and to the monitoring of processes with environmental impact. Health safety and prevention is a service that performs Joint alien or prevention efforts, with activity focused on eliminating or minimizing risks, a more reactive than preventive and more tactical than strategic and lower levels of integration general.
- Items condition specific business management. These can be summarized in one hand that the company is profitable results, managing resources, which are always scarce and limited the volume of business in an effective and efficient and, therefore, with the greatest possible use .
- environment or external variables that influence the management .
regard to external conditions or environment are:
- social agents that can cause a market response to address claims and changes in supply coming into the system. These social determinants operate as an informative (complaints and claims) and a sensitizing and reporting on the environment and risk prevention.
- Customers have a major influence on the organization and the quality conditions of purchase to accept or reject the product or service being delivered, which feeds the system substantially, while the environment and risk prevention awareness but also can influence.
2 .- Structure of an Integrated Management System.
An integrated management system could be represented by a tree structure, with a common core and three branches corresponding to the three management areas: quality, environment and occupational health and safety.
An integrated management system could be represented by a tree structure, with a common core and three branches corresponding to the three management areas: quality, environment and occupational health and safety.
The trunk would contain the common management system specified areas, taking into account all elements, from politics to allocation of resources, etc., Through planning and control of the proceedings and ending audit and system review.
Each specific branch management in a complementary pick the particular and peculiar issues that concern them.
In general, companies with a system already in place could expand their management system to other fields, at least in the treatment documentary, just increase the existing documents, avoiding redundancies and including cross-references and relationships between different specific elements of the different systems.
In principle we could have the following generic structure for an integrated system management :

In principle we could have the following generic structure for an integrated system management :
- integrated management policy.
- Organization.
- Planning.
- integrated management system.
- training and qualification.
- system documentation and control.
- Implementation.
- Evaluation and control of the integrated system.
- System Improvement.
- Communication.
recommended the introduction of a system according to a standard include specifications for the three integrated systems. not already know but for now there is no ISO standard on integrated systems, if there is an ISO 19011 on quality audits and environment. In any case, if you were to be an ISO standard integrated quality and environment, integration with OHSAS 18001 would be enough provided, since the latter has many similarities with ISO 14001 as shown comparative table that follows as its own technical specification OHSAS 18001 indicated.
