Quick question:

How is your quality and H&S management run in your company? Is it managed by the same teams?

Guess it could be company size related with small organizations by necessity the guy in charge of the QMS also looks after H&S side of things. I'm just curious to get a feel of things in other companies.

Here is was done by the same guy but now is separated. We are a smallish company but with ambitions.

It depends on competence of the personnel and how it fits to the whole organization. In some cases I have seen the same mgmt representative for all 3 systems , in others one for QMS and one for Environmental & Safety.
Some organizations also follow the integrated approach of the three systems, when they are mature enough and also the organization is ready for this step.
I agree with you that in some cases the dimensions of the organization has its own effect. In case of multinational companies with corporate scheme, there are some rooms that the responsible of the different systems are two different managers.:bigwave:

I work in a small company so I do safety and quality which is good but a couple of jobs ago I worked for a large company which consisted of cells of smaller companies. The one I was in had about 120 staff and I did quality and someone else did safety.

While that suited me because I got a job out of it, it was also frustrating to work in an organisation hampered by the silo approach. It meant a seperate set of procedures for those things which are universal such as doc control etc.

Eventually they combined two cells and the two functions. While it cost me my job (and others theirs) I was glad to see the organisation combine safety and quality for the sake of the those who remained.

What I've found here is that it is sometimes useful to the company to drag a little of the H&S stuff into the actions of Quality. It seems to me there are certain things that coincide between the two sections.
