First the bad news - I was diagnosed as suffering from swine flu today, at least it explains the odd symptoms I have been suffering.
On the other hand there was some good news - a colleague and I have been helping a construction company to develop and implement an integrated management system. It covers the usual suspects (9001, 14001 & 18001) and they are a reasonable size (250 employees) and they passed first time!
They deserve the success because of the effort they put into it too. It was a 10 'man day' audit (they visited 5 construction sites) and whilst they found a few minor N/C's and raised some observations, the company came through pretty unscathed really.
Just for the record, we started in Feb 09 and it has a manual of 17 pages and 17 procedures plus quite a lot of work instructions.
