This webinar introduces the benefits of management systems and looks at the steps required to fulfil the ISO obligations, including the high-level commonalities, risk management and process approaches that underpin the various standards (ISO 9001, 14001, etc). We discuss systems integration, and whether, under particular circumstances standalone or integrated approaches are most suitable.
Lastly, we explore three types of audit, namely performance-based, product-based, and regulatory-based audits, and how they can support your management system objectives and drive continual improvement of your business outcomes.
The Host: Damon Waterworth
