ISO 14000 for Business Operations

ISO 14000 is a series of international standards for incorporating environmental aspects into business operations and product standards. ISO 14001 is a specific standard for an environmental management system designed to minimize harmful environmental impacts and continually improve environmental performance. Benefits include pollution prevention, cost reduction, compliance, and social responsibility. OHSAS 18000 similarly develops standards for occupational health and safety management systems to eliminate or minimize risks to employees. Benefits are reduced accidents and injuries, insurance costs, and liability risks. An integrated quality management system (IQMS) merges recommendations from ISO 9000, ISO 14000 and OHSAS 18000 along with contract documents to reduce duplication and costs while improving processes, consistency, communication and meeting requirements.
