Hello.
In connection with “management manual” topic… why do we really want to have such a manual ? I believe that it's imperative for each compagny to answer these two questions:
- Who is the user(s) of the Q, E or H&S management manual ?
- Which is the real utility of this manual regarding practical management ?
Actually it is not a requirement of ours main management systems standards (only ISO 9001, but neither ISO 14001 nor ILO-OSH or OHSMS national standards require some manual ).
Actually in much of our companies the management system documentation is available in Intranet and its first viewing screens as its total tree structure fill completely the requirements of EMS or OSMS standards !
Cordially.
