Laatu-, ympäristö- ja turvallisuusjärjestelmien yhdistämisen edellytykset ja esteet

摘要

Organizations have discovered the wisdom of integrating their various management systems. Environment and safety management systems have much in common, and significant duplication will result if they are implemented independently. An integrated management system (IMS) is more efficient than multiple systems in delivering the policy objectives. Increasing pressure from both society and customers compels organizations continuously to develop and improve these various systems. Inspecta Oy has investigated the integration of quality, environment and safety management systems in companies in the chemistry, energy and engineering sectors. Most of the companies had a quality management system in place, and had plans to integrate environment and safety management systems with the quality system in the near future. Only one of the companies had already received certification for an integrated system. The chemical companies had more experience with management systems that did other industries, mostly because of the considerable safety and environmental risks involved.%Yritykset ovat alkaneet yhdistää erillisiä johtamisjär-jestelmiään. Yhdistetty järjestelmä on työkaluna huomattavasti toimivampi kuin erilliset: se selkeyttää järjestelmän ylläpitoa, vähentää liiallista ohjeistusta ja säästää kustannuksia. Kimmokkeen kehitykselle ovat antaneet asiakkaiden, toimittajien, viranomaisten sekä oman henkilökunnan kasvava kiinnostus yritysten laatu-, ympäristö- ja turvallisuusasioihin.
