Integrated Management Systems: A Practical Applications Approach

摘要

Regulatory, industry and corporate requirements for managing responsible care, quality (ISO 9000), process safety (CFR 29 1910.119 and CFR 40 part 68), environmental management (ISO 14000), safety and health, materials transportation, and human resources is a moving target. New requirements are presently under evaluation and will continue to introduced, as Degussa, industry and regulatory agencies better understand the management of actual and potential risks, The goal shared by Degussa, industry and government is to reduce risk, compliance with regulatory requirements provide the means to reduce risk. Knowledge of regulatory expectations is critical for compliance, knowledge of internationally accepted practice (e.g., ISO 9000 and ISO 14000) is recommended for guidance in administrative control elements needed to effectively implement each risk management program. Shared audit findings prove valuable to avoid common pitfalls and continuously improve.
