Abstract

There are several standard of management systems such as ISO 9001 for Quality Management System, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management System, and OHSAS 18001 for Safety and Health Management System. These management systems are often treated as independent functions within organizations. However, many professionals belief that it is possible to harmonise ISO 9001 QMS, ISO 14001 EMS and OHSAS 18001 OHSMS. The objectives of this study are to review the existing management standards on health and safety, environmental and quality; to study the correspondences data between these three management systems; to develop guidelines of SHEQ Integrated Management System; and to study the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed guidelines. The corresponding elements between those three management systems seem to be compatible and the possibility of integrating them is feasible. Finally, the proposed integrated Safety, Health, Environmental and Quality (SHEQ) Management System’s guidelines have been developed.

Terdapat beberapa standard sistem pengurusan seperti ISO 9001 untuk Sistem Pengurusan Kualiti, ISO 14001 untuk Sistem Pengurusan Alam Sekitar dan OHSAS 18001 untuk Sistem Pengurusan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan. Malangnya, sistem pengurusan tersebut sering dianggap mempunyai fungsi yang berasingan dalam organisasi. Walau bagaimanapun, ramai profesional percaya akhirnya ISO 9001 QMS, ISO 14001 EMS an OHSAS 18001 OHSMS patut diharmonikan dalam sesuatu kaedah. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji standard-standard pengurusan yang sedia ada, iaitu kesihatan dan keselamatan, alam sekitar dan kualiti; mengkaji persamaan antara ketiga-tiga standard ini; menghasilkan satu garispanduan bagi Sistem Pengurusan integrasi SHEQ; dan akhir sekali untuk mengkaji kelebihan dan kelemahan garispanduan sistem yang dihasilkan. Didapati wujud persamaan yang ketara antara tiga sistem pengurusan tersebut dan kemungkinan mengintegrasikan mereka adalah tinggi. Akhirnya, satu garispanduan Sistem Integrasi Pengurusan Keselamatan, kesihatan, Alam Sekitar dan Kualiti telah dibangunkan.
