Iso Management Systems

Iso Management Systems

The implementation of ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems and ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems assist in ensuring sound Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment compliance and performance of any organisation, eliminate the hazards and impacts of daily activities, products, and services and minimize the risks and impacts on employees, neighboring communities, and the environment. ISO Management Systems can be implemented individually or as a combined Integrated Management System. In either case an ISO SHE Management System, once implemented, improves occupational health, safety, and environmental performance by mapping out the framework for improving operating efficiency, increasing morale of employees regarding safety and the environment, and reducing costs associated with waste streams, injuries, and non-compliance. An ISO Management System can be tailored and implemented in organisations of various sizes, types, and natures whether the aim is certification or improved performance relating to activities, products, and services.
Environmental performance can be assessed through reviews or audits. Clause 9.2.1 of the ISO 14001 and 45001 standards requires organisations to: “conduct internal audits at planned intervals to provide information on whether the (OH&S / environmental) management system conforms to the organisation’s own requirements for its (OH&S / environmental) management system (, including the OH&S Policy and OH&S objectives), the requirements of this (document / International Standard) and is effectively implemented and maintained.”

ENVASS is able to systematically review the implementation and maintenance of the ISO Management System by objectively assessing your organisation’s processes, activities, products, and services and providing results in a report format. ENVASS’ auditors are accredited with the South African Auditor and Training Certification Authority (SAATCA) and strongly relate to and adhere to the mandate set out by the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP). ENVASS’ auditors and lead auditors are trained through reputable training institutions which secure compliance with the requirements of ISO19011 (guidelines for auditing management systems) in preparing audit reports.
Once every five years, all International Standards are reviewed and a decision is made to confirm, revise, or withdraw the ISO standard. For example, after the review of the ISO 14001:2004 standard, the International Organisation of Standardisation decided to publish the new ISO 14001:2015 version. Organisations are allowed a three-year transition period to adapt their ISO Management Systems to the newly published standard.

When these standards are revised and published, ENVASS is able to provide organizations with a GAP Analysis that enables the identification of changes required in their current management systems and the development of implementation plans to meet conformance with the revised ISO system.
