Procedure

1. All accidents, incidents or near misses (involving injury, illness, persistent or unusual pain) will be
reported early and promptly on the accident report form.
2. If necessary, the trained first aiders on site will attend to the accident.
3. The employee will forward all Medical documents to the Co-ordinator who will action and file these as
required.
4. All Notifiable events need to be advised to the Co-ordinator as soon as practical
5. The accident scene of a “Notifiable events” is not to be interfered with or disturbed until given a
clearance.
6. An accident investigation may be required (refer to below)
7. Rehabilitation plans will be established as outlined in the rehab procedure.

Accident Investigation

1. Only people with the appropriate skills and experience should investigate accidents.
2. Gather all the facts; all investigations will be initially recorded on an Accident / Incident Module:
a. Interview witnesses and describe events in detail, using any photos, diagrams or other exhibits
that may be appropriate.
b. Have the prescribed agencies, been informed?
c. Be sure that you understand the sequence of events fully before any analysis takes place.
d. Identify all the hazards involved.
e. Consider:
i. equipment,
ii. materials,
iii. work practices and procedures, iv. work environment,
v. health issues, vi. hazards
3. Assess the Hazard Controls in place. What controls were in place, and why didn't they work? What is
needed? Is there a need to train or inform employees?
4. Decide on Future Action. Describe fully what needs to be done to prevent further accidents or
incidents. Who should do what and by when?
5. Records of those who hold relevant investigation skills are recorded in Human Resources module.
6. Inform all those affected. Inform everyone who needs to know, not only those directly involved. Health
and Safety meeting agenda will include the results of any findings and actions to be undertaken.
7. Follow up. There must be checks to ensure that recommended changes have been made and results
achieved.
8. The Manager or Supervisor will implement any corrective actions or improvements that arise from the
accident investigation. Actions must be signed off as they are completed.

Injury Management and Return to Work

1. Medical documents and medical certificates are received. They will be filed as necessary.
2. Employee having more than 5 days off and/or the injury would benefit from rehabilitation.
3. Signed consent form is required by the employee to authorise the release of information from the
doctor.

Page 38 of 69 © 2017, Mango Ltd. All Rights Reserved.


4. Consult doctor or treatment provider as to possible duties the injured employee could undertake.
5. Employee, Employee’s Manager/Supervisor and Co-ordinator meet and discuss possible options and
formalise the options in a rehabilitation plan. The employee may have a Union or support person
present.
6. A Third party rehabilitation provider may assist with the plan and monitoring of progress.
7. Rehabilitation plan and set milestones are monitored as agreed.
8. If rehabilitation milestones or the rehabilitation plan are not proceeding as agreed an occupational
health specialist or physician may be involved. Typical transitional duties include:
a. Admin/ paper work e.g. electrical compliance certificates.
b. Non lifting site work
c. Reduced hours per day
d. Motor vehicle driving/ deliveries
9. Early intervention with a rehab programme is the best option. Remember that an employee has a
fitness level and muscle toning from the type of work they have been doing and the longer they are
out of the workforce the longer it will take them to get back to full fitness.
10. The threat of re-injury is also a serious possibility if the rehabilitation is not designed and handled
correctly.
11. Remember an employee may feel threatened by the meeting format and the desire for the company
to get them back to work earlier than they may be happy with.
12. Always offer the employee the option of having a support person or H & S rep present.
13. It is good policy to clearly explain to the employee that the companies aim is the smooth
reintroduction back into the workforce.
14. Remember that high achievers and very active people can also overdo their return to work and
reinjure themselves.

streamline processes and improve overall efficiency. Here’s a sample outline for such an IMS:

Page 47 of 69 © 2017, Mango Ltd. All Rights Reserved.


Integrated Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Health and Safety Manual

Introduction
Your Company has developed and implemented an integrated Quality, Environmental, and
Occupational Health and Safety Management System (IMS). The IMS aims to document the
company’s best practices, meet customer requirements, enhance environmental performance, promote
health and safety practices, and improve overall management.

External and Internal Context


To fully understand the organization and its context, Your Company has identified relevant external
and internal issues that affect the IMS’s ability to achieve intended results.

ISO 9001:2015
Your Company complies with ISO 9001:2015, addressing design, development, production,
installation, and servicing of products. The process approach ensures consistent and predictable results
by managing activities as interrelated processes.

ISO 14001:2015
The IMS also adheres to ISO 14001:2015, emphasizing environmental management. Your Company
considers environmental aspects, legal requirements, and continuous improvement.

ISO 13485:2016
For medical devices, Your Company meets ISO 13485:2016 requirements. The IMS covers design,
development, production, installation, and servicing of medical products.

Manual Structure
The IMS manual is divided into sections corresponding to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and
OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety). It delineates authorities, responsibilities, and
interrelationships within the system.

How do I implement an IMS in my organization?
Copilot

Implementing an Integrated Management System (IMS) in your organization involves combining


multiple management systems (such as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016) into a unified
framework. Here are the steps to guide you through the process:
1. Initial Assessment:
o Conduct a gap analysis to assess your existing management systems (e.g., quality, environmental, health and
safety).
o Identify areas for integration and understand the current state of each system.
2. Unified Framework Development:
o Create a unified structure that merges relevant requirements from different standards (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO
14001, ISO 13485).
o Develop common policies, procedures, and processes that align with the IMS.
3. Standardize Documentation and Processes:
o Use PAS 99 as a guide to map and define one set of documentation, policies, procedures, and processes
suitable for all management systems.
o Ensure consistency in handling requirements such as policy approval, document control, and record
management.
4. Roles and Responsibilities:
o Clearly define roles and responsibilities for IMS implementation.
o Ensure employees understand their tasks and expectations related to the IMS.
5. Adapt Existing Processes:
o Modify existing processes and systems to align with the IMS.
o Address specific requirements related to product/service planning, environmental management, and risk
management.
6. Training and Awareness:
o Train employees on the IMS framework, emphasizing its benefits and objectives.
o Foster awareness of integrated practices and encourage participation.

Remember that IMS implementation is context-specific, and the approach may vary based on your
organization’s needs, existing systems, and maturity level. Adapt the IMS to suit your unique
requirements and ensure efficient operations across quality, environmental, and health and safety
domains123.

How to implement integrated


management systems

Article by Rhand Leal5 min read





Recently, we saw the release of new versions of two of the best-known ISO standards: ISO
9001 (requirements for Quality Management Systems) and ISO 14001 (requirements for
Environmental Management Systems). Like ISO 22301 and ISO 27001, these standards follow a
similar structure, based on Annex SL, Appendix 2 of ISO/IEC Directives (for more information about
Annex SL, as well as about the PDCA cycle in ISO management systems, please read Has the PDCA
cycle been removed from the new ISO standards?).
Since the new versions of the standards define transition periods for the adequacy of ISO management
systems certified against previous versions, integrated or not, we can expect a cycle of
implementation / integration projects all over the world in the next few years. In this article, I will
present to you a brief overview of the main aspects you should consider to take advantage of the
standards’ similarities, which makes it easier to integrate them and enable your organization to work
more efficiently.

ISO’s management systems high-level structure


Since the publication of Annex SL, all ISO management systems must be developed following this
structure:
1. Scope
2. Normative references
3. Terms and definitions
4. Context of the organization
5. Leadership
6. Planning
7. Support

Page 50 of 69 © 2017, Mango Ltd. All Rights Reserved.


8. Operation
9. Performance evaluation
10. Improvement
For certification purposes, the most important clauses are clauses 4 through 10. In clauses 4, 5, 7, 9,
and 10, the texts of the standards are almost the same. The specifics of each standard are concentrated
on clauses 6 and 8, as follows:
 Clauses 6 and 8 of ISO 9001 refer to Product / Service planning and realization
 Clauses 6 and 8 of ISO 14001 refer to Environmental management
 Clauses 6 and 8 of ISO 27001 refer to Risk management
Therefore, you can see that most of the standards’ requirements (clauses 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10) can be
unified without compromising the individual standard’s purpose.

Approach to integrate management systems


When talking about an integrated management system (IMS), we mean systems where we deal with as
many requirements as possible in the same way. E.g., if two systems have policy requirements (like
management approval, revision, and communication), why don’t we deal with them the same way?
Why don’t we control documents and records in the same form?
When thinking about integrating management systems, there are many courses of action to be
considered based on the organization’s context, the number of existing systems, and the systems’
maturity, for example. In terms of standards requirements, you can use PAS 99 as a guide (it can help
you map and define one set of documentation, policies, procedures, and processes suitable for all of
your management systems). For actions to be considered, see the following:
Awareness & training. Use a single procedure to prescribe the method and frequency of training and
awareness activities, as well as the same training materials related to common requirements. This
makes it easier to make the organization’s employees aware of the standards’ requirements, how these
requirements can help improve business results, and how employees can help to implement and be
compliant with them.

Page 51 of 69 © 2017, Mango Ltd. All Rights Reserved.


Objectives and policy definition. Identify the organization’s purposes for the system and develop a
single policy that covers all the organization’s management systems.
Context definition. Determine all the internal / external factors and interested parties through a unified
system to find correlations more quickly and more thoroughly.
Actions to treat risks / seize opportunities. Previously known as preventive actions, your
organization should develop plans to deal with potential negative / positive impacts that it may be
exposed to.
Documentation design and implementation. Use unified documentation for the processes of the
integrated management system, like document and records control and internal audit.
Internal audit. Make use of the same internal auditor to verify if the integrated processes are being
realized as planned and achieving the expected results.
Management review. Turn multiple reviews into a single one to aid top management’s understanding
of the integrated management system achievements and results.
Corrective actions. A single procedure can be used to take and follow up on the measures taken if
processes and / or results are not as expected.
For organizations with certified systems, or those considering certification, when top management asks
about the certificates and the certification processes, you can answer that by using the IMS approach
the certification process will be cheaper, because the integrated certification will be performed only
one time for all integrated systems.

Benefits of an integrated management system


The main benefits of implementing an integrated management system are:
 Decreased cost when going for an integrated certification audit
 Cost optimization by unification of internal audits, document control, training, and administration
 Maintenance optimization through using the same approach to manage multiple standards
 Better understanding by top management of systems issues, increasing agility and effectiveness of related
decisions involving multiple standards’ requirements
 Less effort required to integrate new management systems

Integrated management system: A good answer to


address multiple challenges
An integrated management system is relevant to any organization because it helps the organization to
deal effectively with challenges like limited resources, growing competitiveness, and higher
expectations from customers and other interested parties (e.g., government and regulatory bodies) –
regardless of its market.
Therefore, if you have many management systems in your organization, or you are planning to deploy
new ones, now is an ideal time to consider management system integration in your organization, to
improve results and optimize the alignment of management practices.
To see an example of integrated systems documentation, please see these free materials: Project plan
for ISO 27001 / ISO 22301 implementation and ISO 9001 vs. ISO 27001 matrix.

requirements of various standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001.
By merging these standards, businesses can improve efficiency, reduce
duplication, and simplify reporting.

The Benefits of Implementing an Integrated
Management System
An IMS offers several advantages that contribute to an organisation’s success.
These benefits extend beyond the initial advantages mentioned earlier and include:
Streamlined Communication and Collaboration
By consolidating management systems, companies can encourage cross-
functional collaboration and improve communication within the organisation.
An IMS breaks down departmental silos, fostering a shared understanding of
business objectives and promoting a unified approach to problem-solving.
Enhanced Organisational Performance
An IMS provides a holistic view of an organisation’s operations, enabling better
decision-making and resource allocation. By integrating multiple management
standards, businesses can identify areas for improvement, reduce waste, and
optimise processes.
Cost Reduction
Implementing an IMS minimises the need for separate audits, certifications, and
documentation, ultimately lowering operational costs. Additionally, an IMS enables
companies to reduce duplication of effort, leading to further cost savings.
Simplified Compliance
An IMS simplifies regulatory compliance by providing a centralised system for
managing multiple standards. This unified approach streamlines reporting and
ensures that all aspects of the organisation are aligned with relevant regulations.

Improved Employee Engagement
By consolidating various management system standards, an IMS fosters a culture
of collaboration and accountability. Employees become more engaged in company
processes, increasing productivity and job satisfaction.

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility


An IMS helps organisations address their environmental and social impacts, also
known as ESG reporting, while maintaining a focus on financial performance. By
integrating sustainability and corporate social responsibility initiatives, companies
can achieve long-term growth and contribute positively to the global community.

In summary, an IMS offers a wide range of benefits that contribute to an


organisation’s overall success. From streamlined communication and collaboration
to enhanced stakeholder confidence and sustainability, an IMS can help
businesses excel in today’s competitive market.

Key Components of an Integrated
Management System
An effective IMS requires several key components to ensure the successful
integration of various management system standards. This comprehensive
overview expands on the essential elements that contribute to a robust IMS:
Leadership and Commitment
Strong leadership and commitment from top management are crucial for the
successful implementation and maintenance of an IMS. Executives should actively
support the integration process, allocate necessary resources, and demonstrate
ongoing commitment to the IMS objectives.
Policy
A comprehensive set of guiding principles that outline an organisation’s
commitment to meeting specific goals, such as quality, environmental, and health
and safety objectives. These policies should be clearly communicated, accessible
to all stakeholders, and regularly reviewed to ensure ongoing relevance.
Planning
A detailed planning process that includes identifying risks, opportunities, and
objectives, as well as developing strategies to address them. Planning should
consider the requirements of all integrated standards and take into account the
organisation’s context and relevant interested parties.
Implementation
The successful execution of plans requires the allocation of resources, effective
communication, and training for employees on their roles and responsibilities within
the IMS. Implementation should also involve the integration of IMS requirements
into the organisation’s processes and operations.
Performance Measurement
An IMS should include a comprehensive performance measurement system that
monitors and evaluates processes and results against objectives and targets. This
measurement system should enable data-driven decision-making and support
continuous improvement initiatives.
Review and Improvement
Regular assessments of the IMS are essential to ensure its ongoing effectiveness
and to identify areas for enhancement. Management reviews should consider the
results of internal and external audits, customer feedback, and performance data,
with the aim of driving continual improvement across the organisation.
Documentation and Record Management
An IMS should include a well-organised documentation system that consolidates
policies, procedures, and records, ensuring consistency and accessibility across

Page 57 of 69 © 2017, Mango Ltd. All Rights Reserved.


the organisation. Document management should also incorporate version control
and a review process to maintain the currency and accuracy of information.

Internal and External Audits
Regular audits are necessary to verify the effectiveness of the IMS and to identify
areas for improvement. Internal audits should be conducted by trained auditors
within the organisation, while external audits should be performed by accredited
certification bodies.
Corrective and Preventive Actions
An effective IMS should include a risk management component for identifying,
reporting, and addressing non-conformities and potential non-conformities.
Corrective and preventive actions should be taken to resolve issues, prevent
recurrence, and drive continuous improvement.

Incorporating these key components into an IMS ensures a cohesive and effective
approach to managing multiple standards, driving performance improvement, and
maintaining regulatory compliance.

📍The only person who suffers due to your lack of confidence is you. There's nothing to be afraid of. My
hack: Communicate like you are chatting with a friend.

person speaking up.

📍Feedback is not criticism. Feedback is Feedback. The areas for improvement are a great source of direction
for the next review period.

📍It is okay to talk about your ambitions and seek guidance on how you can achieve them.

📍Visibility will amplify your work. Don’t downplay it.
