Hi, I have been tasked with integrating ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 and then adding in ISO OSHAS 18001 later, have any of you seen any good IMS manuals and if so could I have a copy to use as a sterting point. Thanks

I'm in exactly the same position, although our management systems havnt been accredited yet. I've combined our seperate safety, quality, and envirinmental management systems in to one now, which was quite a simple task. I'll be looking at an external gap analysis shortly which may or may not throw up issues prior to us going for the accreditation.

The OHSAS 18001:2007 standard has a table (Annex A) which shows the correspondence between the three standards and is a good starting point if you already have an existing system to one of the standards.

If you want to fully integrate you should use PAS 99 to set system structure. I would suggest a 'combined system' rather than full integration as this will simplify your future external audits i.e. as soon as you state that you have a integrated system then you will be audited against the requirements of PAS99 (certainly with BSI) and the other standards to which your organisation subcribes. With a 'combined system' you will just be audited against the standards. Also, just being pedantic but organistions that successfully attain external verification by an accreddited body such as BSI, SGS or Lloyds etc to a standard such as ISO9001:2008 do not themselves become accreddited. The correct terminology would be 'certified' or perhaps 'registered'. GC
