Specialist Services

Our services include assisting companies in the implementation of the following standards, following which that company gets an award of Certification under these standards, showing that they have not only met the British Standards and Regulations, but that they have met the European and International standards and regulations in their operation.

Integrated Management Systems

Many organizations have adopted or are adopting formal management system standards and/or specifications such as:

  • Quality Systems Management -ISO 9001
  • Occupational Health & Safety Management - BS OHSAS 18001
  • Environmental Management - ISO 14001
  • Information Safety Management - ISO 27001
  • Food Safety Management System ISO 22000

We also recommend that any business starting from scratch to implement a Quality Management System would be advised to integrate ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health & Safety because inevitably they will want to comply with these standards at some time in the future. It is more cost effective to integrate the three systems at once rather than undertake one each year.

QIMS, in recognition of these factors can assist organizations an integrated management system for business that conform to more that one Standard, usually a combination of two or more of the standards.

Frequently these are operated as independent systems. In all management systems, however, there are common elements which can be managed in an integrated way: the essential unity of all these systems within the overall management system of the organization can be recognized and used to the best advantage.
