STANDARDS

• Most popular of the management system standards
  of interest to Kuwait industry are
• ISO 9001 2000 - Quality management systems
  Requirements
• ISO 14001 2004 Environmental management
  systems Requirements with guidance for use
• OHSAS 18001 1999 - Occupational health and
  safety management systems Specification

• Implementing management systems individually
  could lead to the following disadvantages
• Variance in understanding and interpretation of
  common requirements of standards
• Avoidable duplication in documentation for
  common requirements
• Duplication of documents might lead to
  contradictions during implementation
• Individual audits of management systems would
  mean a wastage of time for auditing common
  requirements

These disadvantages can be overcome by
integrating the management systems and
implementing them together.

A convenient scheme for implementation of
management systems would be 1. Start with ISO
9001 2000 - QMS 2. Combine with
sector-specific requirements (like ISO / TS
29001 2003) - QMS 3. Align the system with ISO
14001 2004 EMS 4. Fully integrate with IHSAS
18001 1999 - OHSMS

STANDARDS
In a broad sense, the requirements that are
common to the three standards are1.
Documentation requirements including control of
documents and control of records2. Management
responsibility including establishing the
policies and objectives, management system
planning, establishing responsibilities and
authority of each function and communicating the
same to the employees, appointment of MR, and
reviewing the management system3. Resource
management including provision of resources,
competence, awareness and training4.
Measurement, analysis and improvement including
internal audit, control of nonconformances,
corrective and preventive action

• However, the emphasis on these requirements could
  vary from standard to standard.- Organisations
  that are keen on continual improvement of their
  product quality, environmental performance and
  occupational health and safety performance can
  adapt the most stringent of the common
  requirements

Other requirements are system-specific and are
dependent on the product or service life
cycle.The details of how the common
requirements can be integrated are discussed in
detail in the paper.
