1. Are you familiar with the following Management standards:
   • ISO 9000: Quality management
   • QS9000 and ISO/TS 16949: Automotive Quality Management
   • ISO 14001: Environmental management
   • OHAS 18001: Health & Safety management

2. If so, you will be aware that they are all based on the same basic principles of good management:
   • Know where you are (in relation to appropriate benchmarks)
   • Know where you want to be (identify your objectives)
   • Put a plan of action in place to achieve those objectives (with targets, timescales and milestones along the way)
   • Check to see that you are meeting your milestones (modify plans and resources accordingly)
   • When you reach your objectives, congratulate everyone and identify future objectives for continual improvement
       (Demmings: Plan, Do, Check, Act)

3. Are you aware that:
   • ISO 9000 and ISO 14001 have been deliberately drafted to reflect one another and facilitate their integration.
   • The Health and Safety Commission, in their policy statement HSG65, said they wished companies to manage Health & Safety in the same way that leading companies manage Quality.
   • That OHAS 18001 has been drafted to facilitate this and will become the recognised international standard for H&S management, entirely compatible with ISO9000 and 14001.

Keith Brisley Associates have considerable experience and expertise in the application of these basic good management principles and a track record of delivering substantial business benefits.
