Welcome to a journey into the world of integrated management systems — where quality, environment, and occupational health and safety come together in a single, efficient framework.
This online course is designed to help professionals understand, implement, and audit an integrated management system (IMS) that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018.
Rather than studying each standard separately, in this course we focus on their common structure, shared principles, and practical integration, showing how organizations can align their processes to manage quality, environmental, and health & safety management in a unified way.
Course overview
All ISO management system standards share a High Level Structure (HLS) — a powerful framework that enables integration.
Throughout the course, we’ll explore this structure step by step, covering all seven key clauses:
Context of the organization
Understand how internal and external issues and stakeholder expectations influence your integrated management system and establish its scope.
Leadership
Learn how top management supports the IMS through commitment, integrated policy, and clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
Planning
Explore how to identify and address risks and opportunities, set measurable integrated objectives, and plan effective actions to achieve them.
Support
Ensure resources, competence, awareness, communication, and documentation and make them all work cohesively across the three disciplines.
Operation
See how to control processes, manage change, outsourcing, and emergency preparedness — with insights into the specific operational requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001.
Performance evaluation
Learn how to monitor, measure, analyze, and evaluate IMS performance, conduct effective internal audits, and lead management reviews.
Improvement
Master the process of managing nonconformities, corrective actions, and continual improvement in an integrated system.
Auditing focus
Each section includes practical guidance on how to audit the integrated system — from evaluating leadership involvement and organizatinal context to assessing audit programmes and continual improvement.
Participants will gain the confidence to conduct real-world IMS audits that go beyond compliance and add genuine value to organizations.
The course blends theoretical concepts with practical examples drawn from diverse industries, making complex ideas clear and applicable.
Quality. Environment. Occupational Health & Safety.
Three perspectives — one system.
A clear, efficient path to integrated excellence.
