Re: Integrated Management System QMS, EMS & OHSAS

Hello,

I did a search in the Cove's attachments by clicking on the green Post Attachments List button in the header and using key words "integrated manual." I came up with a couple of examples.

Re: Integrated Management System QMS, EMS & OHSAS

Hello, we are currently in our stage 2(compliance) audit on integrated management system (IMS), management insist to change formal Quality Dept. to IMS Dept., is this appropriate or QHSE Dept. is better. What about designation, IMS Manager or QHSE Manager. Please advise.
Thank you.

Re: Integrated Management System QMS, EMS & OHSAS

Personally I don't think it matters what you call it. The significant question at this point is, is the content of all of your documentation consistent? Especially interconnected documents which reference other documents.

Thanks Marc, inter connection of our IMS (QHSE) documentation is very intact. the matter is can we use system (IMS) as departmental name and designation? Please advise.
Thank you.

I may not have the "official" answer that others on this board (i.e., Randy, et. al.) might be able to give you from both a CB and standards point of view. However, I believe some of the answer relates to the size and nature of your business.

In your profile, you claim your organization has about 100 people involved in the construction industry for high and low rise buildings. My quick assessment indicates that quality and HSE (especially the safety aspects) are both highly significant concerns for business success and may need independent consideration. Further, while it may be able to be managed under a single regulatory or QHSE department, the question for me is whether a single individual can manage both concerns from a strategic and tactical perspective. Are quality issues pervasive enough for a single manager to also handle the HSE responsibilities? Or are the two areas equally important and significant in scope to require separate management individuals to be dedicated to each? (i.e., separate Quality and HSE managers). A third possibility may involve having a single Quality manager be supported by a staff level HSE coordinator, etc.

Again, in my opinion, the answer requires management and yourself as management representative to know your business and implement the appropriate resources to manage it.

Yes, you can. There's nothing to say you can't call a department anything you would like to. As much as this forum is, or rather was, mostly focused on quality and related systems, today "integrated management systems" is (in my opinion) the more appropriate term for what companies are doing.

My point above about documents was targeted at document content. For example, let's say you change the name of a department from the QHSE Department to the IMS Department. Anywhere you reference the QHSE Department you will have to ammend to reference the IMS Department.

Thanks CertifiedDataJunkie, currently we have a qualified Safety Manager (registered Safety officer) overseeing the Health Safety and Environment matters and is part of IMS dept. to be. Besides, as MR I also oversees the environmental issues, upkeep and implementing of our IMS, liase with relevant authority, regulatory and the CB.
