I have just finished co-leading a successful

effort to integrate 14001 and 18001 into our existing 9001 Quality Management System, now called our Integrated Management System.
I would highly recommend integration because of the overlap of the three systems. Hey - document control is document control is document control...
To integrate, we made most of the updates right in the Quality Manual, and renamed it the Integrated Management Systems Manual. (Our Level 1 document.) As it is an integrated way of doing business, and I want to continue to stress that, we combined in as many areas as possible, including our management reviewss. I did create a few extra Level 2 documents, and then some specific Level 3 work instructions.
For us, the bulk of the work was in analyzing our processes for environmental impacts and health & safety risks.
Going forward, I will be providing 14001 and 18001 content training to our 9001 internal QMS auditors, and 9001 and 18001 content training to a few who had EMS audit training.
We just completed our successful external registration audit for 14001 and 18001, with no non-conformities.

Just a few "areas of concern" that we have a year to address.
(OK, 18001 wasn't technically a "registration" audit, but that's splitting hairs...)
Ironically, I found out
during our registration audit that I have until June 09 to also comply with a european railroad standard. (IRIS - it is basically ISO 9001 with additional requirements.) Well, that's a little job security, I suppose...
'Bye for now!
