Integrated Management System Certification
Integrated Management System (IMS)
Organizations today seek a holistic view of the quality, health & safety and environmental (QHSE) risks they face. Integrated management system certification to recognized international standards by WECERT enables you to manage risks efficiently and improve reputation.
Regulation and public scrutiny of companies’ QHSE performance is on the increase. Quality issues, poor labor practices or weak management of environmental impacts can hit reputation and revenues, and harm your ability to hire talented employees. Implementation of QHSE management system standards is an important first step to managing risk.
WECERT offers integrated management system certification to internationally recognized standards.
These include ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management System and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. By integrating your management systems and your certification program, you can gain visibility, better track performance and reduce the cost of audits.
Benefits of becoming certified
ISO has recently updated its management system certification standards for QHSE and Enterprise Risks to ensure they meet the needs of modern businesses. All certification standards now have a shared High Level Structure, with common processes for identifying risk and preparing documentation. As a result, companies can adopt management system certification standards to address all the risks to their business. These range from major QHSE risks, to governance risks such as Anti-Bribery Management and Asset Management, and operational risks including Information Security Management and business continuity Management.
Each organization implementing integrated management system and receive its certification may anticipate the following benefits:
- Implementing a range of QHSE and Enterprise Risk Management System
- Gaining a Holistic view of the risks facing your company and the effectiveness of your actions to manage them
- Reduction in costs of audits and certificates, thanks to fewer auditor man days and efficient use of internal teams’ time
- Gaining Globally-Recognized Certification
IMPROVE THE COST EFFICIENCY OF AUDITS WITH INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CERTIFICATION
Adopting a holistic approach to risk management can be highly efficient when you choose to certify with a single certification body such as WECERT . By carrying out all audits at once, you can reduce the number of man days spent by WECERT auditors. The process is also less time-consuming for internal teams and can help avoid audit fatigue. Finally, you receive each audit report in the same format, enabling you to easily understand your results, and areas for improvement.
Global recognition as a reputable supplier
Certification is recognized internationally and accepted throughout industry supply chains, setting industry benchmarks for sourcing suppliers.
Win more business
Procurement specifications often require certification as a condition to supply, so certification and verification opens doors
Business resilience
Avoid downtime and financial losses with effective management of risk, emergency preparedness and contingency planning.
Legal Compliance
Understand how statutory and regulatory requirements impact your organization and its customers.
INTEGRATE HEALTH & SAFETY INTO YOUR RISK MANAGEMENT
Holistic risk management just got easier thanks to the introduction of ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management System. Unlike the previous OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001 is an accredited standard that uses ISO’s High Level Structure, meaning it can be audited alongside other ISO standards as part of an integrated management system certification program.

Following a successful two stage audit, a certification decision is made and if positive, then certification to the required standard is issued by WECERT.
