(Alabama) - ISO 9001, ISO 14001
I have developed an integrated quality, environmental, and safety requirements course based on the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 standards. This 1.5 day onsite course presents the requirements in ISO 9001 clause sequence, with the related ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 requirements included at the applicable spots.
As an example, the ISO 9001 requirements for Internal Audit, clause 8.2.2, are shown below, along with the Internal Audit requirements for ISO 14001, clause 4.5.5, and OHSAS 18001, clause 4.5.5.
Each requirement is individually coded to indicate the source. Q represents a Quality requirement, E denotes an Environmental requirement, and S is for a Safety requirement.
