Integrated Management System checklist

Is your “integrated” system actually integrated, or three systems in one binder?

About IMS
  1. Is there one policy framework covering quality, environment and safety dimensions?
  2. Is there a single documented-information system — one numbering, one control process?
  3. Does one risk and opportunity process feed all disciplines?
  4. Are objectives set once with QHSE dimensions, not three unaligned lists?
  5. Is there one internal audit programme sampling all standards together?
  6. Is there one management review covering the whole system with combined inputs?
  7. Is there a single corrective-action process regardless of discipline?
  8. Do discipline-specific controls (permits, aspects, ITPs) keep their depth?
  9. Is ownership of the whole system assigned to someone with authority across it?
  10. Would a combined external audit find one system or three stapled together?
