Hi,
I have been asked to implement ISO:9001 for our company(health and safety, mainly construction).Unfortunately, my funds dont allow me to employ quality consultants. I dont know where to start. I have the standard, all i know is that there a 4 obligatory parts and a quality policy and manual are required. Are there any useful websites available or other sources of information?

If this is purely for H&S why not do OHSAS 18001 in co-ordination with BS 8800???

Glynn, my interpretation is that Edel's company does mainly H&S and construction work. There should be no reason why implementing OHSAS 18001/BS 8800 is preferred, rather than ISO 9001 at all.
Like many others, don't fall into the old trap that ISO 9001 relates to quality systems (maybe was so, pre-2000), it is now after all, a very efficient business tool that fits well into an organisation, and once accredited, makes it easier for other specific system standards (ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001/BS 8800, BS 7799, etc) to integrate effectively when required.
Edel, if you need some help, assistance and guidance, do not hesitate to drop me a line - I have developed and implemented all types of systems through to accreditation by various third parties.
Regards
Alex

My company is a multidisciplinary construction related consultancy. I work in health and safety the scope is related only to the statutory appointment of the Project Supervisor for Design Stage. As PS Design we issue the Preliminary Health and Safety Plan (we are based in Dublin, Ireland, in the UK it’s called the pre construction safety plans). The whole process hopefully shall take only approx 9 months. There will only be 4 people involved.
OHSAS is a management system for health and safety, associated reducing risk etc. Therefore, I think a general QMS is preferable for us at this time (we are predominantly office based).

Edel, from what you say, in general its not all about choosing what system is best. Why not implement ISO 9001 as you intended to, however when you draft documentation to satisfy the common clauses of most systems ie Records Management, Internal Audits, Non-Conformance, Corrective and Preventive actions, Training, Management Review, make sure you reference QA/HS & Environmental applications/practices that are currently in place. This will greatly assist you in saving time in the future when commencing integration or implementing other standards.
If you need examples of procedures drop me a line and this will give you some ideas
Regards
Alex
