There's this myth going around that International Standards and their related management systems are only for big business. Wrong! Not only are they very accessible to smaller organisations, but they are also the most suitable management systems for SMEs.<br />
<br />
Why? Because ISO management systems all run on similar principles so, if you have one, it's relatively simple to add another. Better still, you can actually implement Integrated Management System ISO 9001 and cover all your needs in one move.<br />
<br />
<b>Reduce Documentation</b><br />
<br />
Integrated Management System ISO 9001 is fantastic for SMEs, because it reduces documentation and duplication, thereby freeing up more time for the 'important' issues - like spending time with your family!<br />
<br />
It is also more likely to save the business money, by removing repetitive actions, and help the business better meet its legislative requirements.<br />
<br />
<b>Boost Your Reputation</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://sctrainingcentre.weebly.com/sc-training-centre-blog/incorporating-safety-into-integrated-management-system-training" target="_blank">Integrated Management System ISO 9001</a> has quality assurance as its base, helping the organisation to 'get it right first time, every time'. This will improve the business's reputation, boost customer numbers, and reduce wastage.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbBRWIi9DLxFfULzsm3HTz78nbt1HL6lGrFfRXh2JXLx-aFbtEUJwq4SlxgQoO2HX0lnpswP6o9UXp-whyel12Jm9am0pO6cMpd5Tq3zDRmehCBbWY7inqnSGfzpOyzQHPALpU3P5of8/s1600/Integrated+Management+System.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbBRWIi9DLxFfULzsm3HTz78nbt1HL6lGrFfRXh2JXLx-aFbtEUJwq4SlxgQoO2HX0lnpswP6o9UXp-whyel12Jm9am0pO6cMpd5Tq3zDRmehCBbWY7inqnSGfzpOyzQHPALpU3P5of8/s400/Integrated+Management+System.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Organisations can then add to this base, to cover all their management system needs. For example, ISO 9001 works very well with ISO 14001 environmental management, and OHSAS workplace safety management.<br />
<br />
<b>Integrated Management System Training</b><br />
<br />
To enable businesses to smoothly make the transition, integrated management system training is recommended. Through this training, business owners and employees will see how the systems work together to save time and money.<br />
<br />
A prime example is the recent amendments to both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Some of these amendments are closely related, or even the same, but you only need to change one system if they are integrated.<br />
<br />
<b>Make the Move in 2017</b><br />
<br />
Most organisations also choose to implement specific training in some areas, such as workplace safety, and this is easily arranged through your provider. For example, <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/integrated-management-system-quality-safety-environment/" target="_blank">OHSAS 18001 training</a> may be required as a refresher, or for new employees.<br />
<br />
For any organisation hoping to take better control during 2017, integrated management system ISO 9001 is highly recommended.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYF2HP2Lna5GPuG6aed0SW3Fi_McYMFNpIMEKv0GmI_03ymmwd71k_umX2jJByX-7saDVvPV2VYGSvjJFUdrr9MCD0nDGZK-MBhPOwhFZjdaEc-IeM502q0MUujYrVYXnKKiJ-NtB1aeo/s320/Environmental.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
Implementing Environmental Management System ISO 14001 really is a win-win for all concerned. Without doubt, it's a winner for the environment as, by lessening the impact of business and industry, it gives the environment a better chance of survival.<br />
<br />
But it is also a positive for the business itself, and for its community. In fact, there really are no negatives as far as <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/iso-90012015-iso-140012015-awareness-training/" target="_blank">Environmental Management System ISO 14001 and environmental awareness training</a> is concerned.<br />
<br />
<b>Lead by Example</b><br />
<br />
We've all heard the phrase, 'lead by example', and that's exactly what environmentally responsible organisations can do. First and foremost, they are implementing policies, procedures and targets that will reduce their impact on the natural environment, reduce the risk of pollution and minimise climate change.<br />
<br />
By doing this, they are also going to benefit themselves, by reducing waste and energy usage - and therefore cost; boosting their reputation - and therefore their customer numbers, and finding more cost-effective ways of working.<br />
<br />
<b>Encouraging Better Environmental Practices</b><br />
<br />
The third major advantage is that they are setting an example to their employees, and their families, and to the community. By encouraging good environmental practices within the workplace, they are motivating their employees to become more eco-minded, and that's a lesson those employees will share with their children, thus improving the future for everyone.<br />
<br />
Organisations that <a href="https://sctrainingcentre.wordpress.com/2016/10/05/reasons-to-implement-environmental-management-system-iso-14001/" target="_blank">implement Environmental Management System ISO 14001</a> are also more likely to work with the local community to spread the message and encourage better eco practices.<br />
<br />
<b>Minimise Our Impact</b><br />
<br />
The main purpose of environmental awareness training is to alert people to the importance of protecting our environment, now and into the future. It's about reducing our use of natural resources - and encouraging others to do the same, and doing all we can to minimise our impact on the planet.<br />
<br />
Consumers can support and encourage this by choosing products and services from organisations with Environmental Management System ISO 14001 in place.</div>

<b><i>'My business is small, with less than 10 employees - why would I need an Integrated Management System?'</i></b><br />
<br />
It might surprise you to learn that Integrated Management Systems - IMS - are every bit as useful, if not more, to SMEs. It's understandable that you might consider an IMS something only a large company would need, but you would be mistaken.<br />
<br />
Your business, whatever its size, runs on systems, right? Production systems, pay systems, ordering systems, some form of workplace safety system - you've probably got all those. And what about quality assurance and control?<br />
<br />
<b>Benefits of an IMS</b><br />
<br />
If you've answered yes to that, then you most certainly would <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.blogspot.com/2016/03/tick-all-boxes-with-integrated.html" target="_blank">benefit from an IMS and Integrated Management System ISO 9001 training</a>.<br />
<br />
An IMS takes all your different systems and combines them to form one efficient, manageable framework, within which you can also forward plan in order to stay on track. This will reduce duplication and documentation, save money and, most importantly for a small business owner, save you time.<br />
<br />
Integrated Management System ISO 9001 takes quality assurance as its basis, putting tools in place to ensure your products or services are consistently good and right first time, every time. That consistency will give you a more competitive edge and grow your market share.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg4C8qvfLQQO6GpeI1XQFZNng6N_lyo0sgzpQiJFzU6uxDTeR9LhD3jLaRILVRUpBAv1INo3mep3ORj_WU4as0pbFndtO4q7nEpXoyBTbBkXXzRtqSVMkOAgwuJuo6mlWj_ON-aavBcP0/s640/Integrated+Management+System.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Major Advantages</b><br />
<br />
When you consider it, there are many crossovers between management systems, as well as common goals, so it makes sense to reduce the red tape and operate within a single framework. <br />
<br />
There's something else, too, that can be a major advantage. <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/integrated-management-system-quality-safety-environment/" target="_blank">Achieving Integrated Management System ISO 9001 certification</a> better qualifies a small business to become a supplier to a bigger company, or to bid for government tenders, thus opening up a new and potentially profitable income stream.<br />
<br />
So, in short, if more money, more time and more opportunities for growth sound good, then yes, you should be considering Integrated Management System ISO 9001 training. </div>

With so many jobs being automated these days, it can be hard to make a career choice. But there are certain professions that are now experiencing increased demand for personnel, and one of those is auditing.<br />
<br />
In many countries, such as the USA, auditing is amongst the five most in-demand jobs right now. Just recently on Linkedin, an article stated that auditors have never been in more demand.<br />
<br />
Let's look at why. Firstly, it's a job that is hard to automate. Auditing requires excellent observation and analytical skills, specialist knowledge, an understanding of the law, and a solutions-driven mentality.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgknTz8dlCNARk7PLzSyMV9NTkjsLx_fDuAqZ5Fc_W7yCqV0V8_GJrGaB0rqB8sdKvhuJVDvGjJS00F84udBKe6bASh-g5pLDcTBL8vRgi2SWwpd8LfiFWbWr0_K-yheuaxZ-vas8Wkg/s640/Lead+Auditor.png" width="506" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Huge Demand </b><br />
<br />
Secondly, there is an increasing uptake in ISO management systems and certification, which is sparking a huge demand for ISO Lead Auditor training. ISO - the use of International Standards to manage business procedures - is a very specialised area, demanding not only training in auditing techniques, but also an excellent knowledge of Standards, and the particular disciplines they cover.<br />
<br />
For example, a lead auditor specialising in ISO 14001 would need to fully understand sound environmental management, including legal requirements, as well as the auditing process itself.<br />
<br />
<b>Option To Specialise</b><br />
<br />
The job of lead auditor carries much responsibility and, as such, is quite well paid. It also allows specialisation in areas of interest, such as workplace health and safety, or quality assurance.<br />
<br />
Excellent <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/about-us/" target="_blank">lead auditor training is available in Brisbane, at SC Training Centre</a>, with an outstanding success rate - largely because the company is an expert in ISO, and only employs current lead auditors as trainers.<br />
<br />
<b>Career Boost</b><br />
<br />
It has the added bonus of being Exemplar Global-certified, a fact that will make your new resume as a lead auditor shine!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://sctrainingcentr.livejournal.com/620.html" target="_blank">ISO Lead Auditor training</a> is definitely worth serious consideration if you are looking for a new career that pays well and has the potential to take you around the world. You'll gain specialist knowledge and certification, and that's well worth the investment.</div>

If you are considering a career as an ISO Lead Auditor, or you simply want to expand your auditing knowledge by undergoing further training, now is a great time to make the first move.<br />
<br />
With more and more organisations worldwide seeking ISO certification, the demand for ISO Lead Auditors is growing, offering excellent career opportunities.<br />
<br />
Your first step to <a href="https://sctrainingcentre.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/choosing-the-best-auditor-training-centre/" target="_blank">boosting your qualifications is to undertake ISO Lead Auditor Training</a>, an opportunity that is available to anyone. There are a variety of courses from which to choose, but I would generally recommend finding an Exemplar Global-certified trainer.<br />
<br />
<b>Job With Responsibility</b><br />
<br />
Whereas internal auditors are employed by individual businesses, and report to management, lead auditors work for certification bodies, and must ascertain whether an organisation has satisfied all the necessary criteria to achieve accreditation.<br />
<br />
It is a job with responsibility, and requires the student to fully understand the purpose of ISO management systems and how they work. A lead auditor must be able to plan and conduct interviews with management, study and assess an organisation's policies and procedures, gather information, and suggest ways to improve performance.<br />
<b><br />Understanding ISO 9001</b><br />
<br />
So, for example, to become an ISO 9001 Lead Auditor you would need a thorough understanding of the ISO itself, as well as Quality Management Systems. <br />
<br />
The ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor course uses a step by step approach over 5 days, to give the trainee all the skills required to carry out a full external audit. <br />
<br />
If you're <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/about-us/" target="_blank">looking for lead auditor training in Brisbane, SC Training Centre</a> offers a comprehensive 5-day course, with the next one taking place in October.<br />
<b><br />Next Course Booking Now</b><br />
<br />
The course is in module format, with the first two days providing an introduction to auditing management systems and focusing on the skills required. Days 3 and 4 focus on ISO 9001 itself, and specific issues relating to quality assurance, while day 5 looks at lead auditor requirements and the certification process.<br />
<br />
At the end of the course successful trainees receive a Certificate of Attainment and automatically qualify as a Provisional Auditor with Exemplar Global.</div>

There's an old saying that suggests you 'get what you pay for'. I've always taken this to mean that the more money you spend, the better the quality will be. And there is some truth to this. For example, I could buy a pair of boots made from man-made materials or, for more money, I could buy leather boots. Obviously the leather boots will last longer, making them the better buy.<br />
<br />
However, having said that, the consumer should be able to expect quality either way, as it is the manufacturer's job to provide a quality product that is fit for use.<br />
<br />
Fulfilling that function is getting harder in many ways, as increased competition sees organisations cutting their prices to attract customers. And when they cut prices, they are cutting profit, so they may cut corners - and that's when we often see a fall in quality.<br />
<br />
<b>Poor Quality Loses Customers</b><br />
<br />
The irony is that by selling poor quality goods, they are likely to lose that customer to the opposition anyway!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRCyLzCPozqigmVBXsbZJFyos_IiIL6UDplELhEGufim-BdyDYUjMX9YQ-hOAB7NUnG0B8N3DkPMzVcXF2fe2WiRSF7K7Y_B8VSLRK4TG70gy_NmFU0_j1d3K6JX2UWnZhoCmkYaakVt4/s400/quality+assurance.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
A better option is to consider <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/iso-90012015-iso-140012015-awareness-training/" target="_blank">quality assurance training in Brisbane, and the adoption of an ISO 9001 Quality Management System</a>. This shows businesses how they can put systems in place that keep the quality of their products consistently good, whilst reducing costs, waste and duplication.<br />
<br />
What's more, and perhaps the most important point of all, is that gaining ISO 9001 certification is the cherry on top when it comes to improving an organisation's reputation and growing its customer base.<br />
<br />
With ISO 9001 Quality Management stamped on your business, you are telling the world that you care about quality, and you don't want to provide your customers with anything less.<br />
<br />
<b>Accessible And Cost Effective</b><br />
<br />
Quality assurance training in Brisbane is both accessible and cost-effective - one suggestion would be to go through SC Training Centre - and will bring real results and improvement. Soon you will discover that your organisation is running smoother and more productively, that your costs are going down, and your customers and profits are going up.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://sctrainingcentre.wordpress.com/2016/08/02/internal-auditing-training-a-key-part-of-smart-management/" target="_blank">Organisations like SC Training Centre also offer internal auditor and ISO 9001 lead auditor training</a>, as this plays a vital role in achieving success.<br />
<br />
It is up to an organisation's internal auditors to ensure systems are working and that the results are good. Internal auditing is a crucial management tool in quality assurance.</div>

Quality is a word we hear a lot of these days. We read about quality homes, and quality food and wine, quality appliances, and so on. It's a word which we take to mean something that is top notch, hard to beat, and worth the money.<br />
<br />
But how do we measure quality? For a business to measure quality, there are several related approaches. The starting point is <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/iso-90012015-iso-140012015-awareness-training/" target="_blank">implementing a quality assurance management system</a>.<br />
<br />
There is a difference between quality assurance and quality control. Whilst quality control - checking the quality of products after they've been produced - is essential, the aim of quality assurance is to remove the risk of things going wrong in the first place.<br />
<br />
<b>Quality Assurance vs Quality Control</b><br />
<br />
Quality assurance training courses in Brisbane are helping organisations understand the difference, and implement the policies and procedures needed to consistently offer quality goods and services. By doing this, an organisation can reduce its costs, improve its reputation, satisfy existing customers and attract new customers.<br />
<br />
With a quality assurance management system in place, an organisation can implement internal auditing procedures, and work towards ISO accreditation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Management system consultants, such as SC Training Centre in Brisbane, offer a range of courses on quality assurance, including internal auditing courses, and <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/quality-iso-9001/" target="_blank">QMS ISO 9001 lead auditor training courses</a>.<br />

<br />
<b>Proactive Quality Planning</b><br />
<br />
Quality assurance puts the emphasis on proactive business planning, whereas quality control is a reactive process. Quality assurance involves putting procedures in place that will better ensure the production of acceptable quality products.<br />
<br />
Quality assurance auditors don't look at the finished product, but rather the manufacturing processes it went through. In this way an organisation may be able to improve its manufacturing process, perhaps making it quicker, or more environmentally sound, or safer.<br />

Quality is something Queensland businesses take very seriously - which is why so many have implemented quality management systems, mostly based on International Standard ISO 9001.<br />
<br />
And as a result of this dedication to producing quality goods and services, there are some excellent quality assurance training courses in Brisbane.<br />
<br />
Successful businesses all over the world use ISO 9001 to ensure the right policies and processes are in place to ensure consistent quality - that is, well made quality products, that are safe and fit for use. <br />
<br />
<b>High standards</b><br />
<br />
But ISO 9001 does a lot more than that. It also tells your customers, potential customers, and potential trading partners that you meet the high certification standards, so they can safely buy from you, or do business with you.<br />

It never ceases to amaze me how many myths and fallacies surround the role of the internal auditor. Especially when you consider that it's only been around in its current form for about 100 years!<br />
<br />
A very common mistake is to think that internal auditors were originally trained as accountants. Internal auditing has nothing to do with accountancy, although you could argue there's a monetary consideration, as poor results could cost the company money or customers.<br />
<br />
Internal auditors deal with much more than just the finances - for example, they look at quality, compliance, management, safety and all manner of internal workings.<br />
<br />
<b>Internal auditing course</b><br />
<br />
So if you are considering an <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/internal-auditing-2-days-module-au/" target="_blank">internal auditing training course</a>, you can come from almost any career background, not just accountancy, although you do require so financial knowledge to carry out your role.<br />
<br />
Another myth, which could well out put some people off becoming internal auditors, is that they are there to find fault and dob you in! This is ridiculous! The ultimate goal of an internal auditor is to improve the business, so that it does better - so that you can keep your job! Besides, they have far greater risks to assess, than the fact you arrived five minutes late for work!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKnuBlbQec2YCqvLVobyzcniSCmeRgYpEBnXreunud6wrxBj8_73Qbp7kJhcxyy9kyv2W0AIJrkyAxDhxkp19u1GcOdlb6YgYlLxkNnItOL8IdW2Av8bTvYa9QwBCeuug11uoZb8jWkl8/s640/quality+training.jpg" width="535" /></a><br />
American business guru Tom Peters described internal auditing as the "coolest profession in the world". His reasoning was that the job is very varied, it challenges the mind to find solutions across all types of industries, and it can make a major difference to the organisation.<br />
<br />
<b>Opening doors</b><br />
<br />
Internal auditing training and experience can also open doors to other opportunities, especially if you decide to extend your skills by undergoing a <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/2d5q3eizHgm" target="_blank">lead auditor training course</a>.<br />
<br />
There is a growing demand for lead auditors throughout the world and, once you have a bit of experience under your belt, you can expect an excellent salary.<br />
<br />
I would say your best starting point is to enquire about an <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/quality-iso-9001/" target="_blank">QMS ISO 9001 lead auditor course</a>. Quality should be the basis of everything an organisation does, and once achieved, other Standards can be added. In this way it would also provide for a lead auditors to extend their skills and range.</div>

What do you consider to be more important in running a business - quality, health and safety, or the environment?<br />
<br />
The correct answer is . . . all of them!<br />
<br />
Breaking businesses down into separate components, and managing each one separately, is not actually the best way of doing business. It not only makes more work in managing all these separate areas, but also takes up more time and money.<br />
<br />
The most efficient way to manage a business is by integrating all systems into one, increasing success and decreasing cost and downtime.<br />
<br />
Businesses run on principles and, if those principles run right across the organisation, then surely it is better to integrate them, which is why many businesses are now considering <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/integrated-management-system-quality-safety-environment/" target="_blank">Integrated Management System ISO 9001</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf1-HXUeXay0h5bKtg2wZabK-J_QbdSBvoxaQ-5RSOxfwO10ZisMsXYWpyPngSjgGytlmHjOFS6svJJOiqJHHzeKoCBShFRuqOuFNz8SmJiHJo-1qVXNGvur2ws1cb2cX0KeKrvMvVn7s/s400/integrated+management+system.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Better results</b><br />
<br />
Integrated management system training will show staff and management that better results are achieved when they all work together towards a common goal.<br />
<br />
The beauty of an integrated system - and something that has been created by ISO - is the ability to combine quality (ISO 9001), health and safety (<a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/safety-asnzs-4801/" target="_blank">OHSAS 18001 training</a>), and the environment (Environmental Management System ISO 14001).<br />
<br />
All three are inter-connected, and all three need to be working in unison for a business to be successful.<br />
<br />
One of the main things all three have in common is risk management. Risk certainly applies to workplace health and safety, and poor risk management can lead to disaster.<br />
<br />
But that also applies to the environment. Risk assessment and management is a crucial part of reducing our impact on the environment and protecting the planet.<br />
<br />
<b>Don't risk it</b><br />
<br />
And if you take risks with the quality of your products and services, you risk losing customers.<br />
<br />
ISO Standards are regular reviewed and updated and there are several new versions either just out or coming soon. As they are updated, the process of integration becomes easier, helping organisations to reduce documentation, as there are many common clauses; reduce repetition of processes; reduce the cost of certification, and make the whole system easier to manage.<br />
<br />
As our market place expands and becomes more global, and as competition increases, organisations need to stay one step ahead - especially if they wish to win government contracts and tenders, or supply major companies.<br />
<br />
Certification to ISO and integrated management system training will help organisations achieve this, and enhance their reputation in the marketplace.<br />
<br />
Remember, people believe what they read and, with ISO certification branded on your product, it's a clear indication that you have an excellent business. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best way to ensure your employees' safety is by implementing globally recognised systems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a business owner it's natural to have concerns about the health and safety of your employees. It's likely you go out of your way to ensure there's a first aid kit in the staff room, and that your machinery is safe to operate. You may even provide training.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But is it enough? If Australian businesses were doing everything 100% right, there wouldn't be the worrying high number of workplace accidents, and deaths, that there are today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chatting with other business owners, the terms OHSAS 18001 and AS/NZS 4801 have probably come up. You may even have heard others talking about lead auditor courses, but you're not sure what's involved, and it sounds like a load of paperwork, right!<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Getting started</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, it actually isn't, and the benefits are certainly worth the effort.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best way to get started is to talk to someone about <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/coursetype/safety-asnzs-4801/" target="_blank">OHSAS 18001 training</a>. OHSAS 18001 was based on a British safety standard, and then developed by a group of safety experts. AS/NZS 4801, by the way, is similar, but was developed by Australian and New Zealand experts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a nutshell, OHSAS 18001 training is aimed at helping businesses control occupational health and safety risks. Of course, it's not quite as simple as that, but your training crew will fully explain the procedures and guide you through the process.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0BiXBDFUG02wkTNiI-Tr9w9JVImzp0DOvPct0mMuDIPoJ8qHF8FoNp_B1iUbObEPacPvvTdfiokVDNeW2XTL8h9cuIXd1wUxYsSfMAYd9L_Y2tJMMQ4p70foR2nrltqFwCmJPTyuwM08/s640/OHAS.png" width="550" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
ISO certification</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your training crew should be from a reputable training centre, which implements management systems and guides businesses to ISO certification.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you start down the road to implementing OHSAS 18001 or AS/NZS 4801, they will explain the next stage, which is sending key staff on lead auditor training courses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/asnzs-4801-ohsas-18001-lead-auditor-4/" target="_blank">OHSAS 18001 lead auditor training courses</a> provide the knowledge and skills required to assess the conformance of an organisation's occupational health and safety management systems to the Standard.</div>

<a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/the-training-crew/" target="_blank">Training crews in Brisbane</a> present courses in module format, including an introduction to auditing management systems, focusing on the skills required for auditing, risk assessment and safety reviews.</div>

If you're in business today, it's not enough to simply consider what's happening financially. For a business to run coherently and sustainably, there needs to be a focus on a range of issues, from quality and workplace health and safety, to the environment.<br />
<br />
While some environmental issues are covered by legislation, others raise ethical questions that affect consumer choice, so getting the balance right is crucial.<br />
<br />
Environmental standard ISO 14001 is the world's most accepted environmental management standard and is internationally recognised as a way to help businesses retain commercial success while still taking responsibility for their actions.<br />
<br />
It carries many benefits for the environment - such as reducing the risk of pollution - but it's a winner for the business owner, too, with improved efficiency, reduced waste and energy use, and lower costs.<br />
<br />
<b>Environmental awareness</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAgbyjQgFoGgj7HlAZztmfcB-MAlvCtDxZ4ow8xQ2JV-hZbjlTL51mEWAObDptvr2O0D2HQHFDzMPdy05wgEvBIt_ipeC46kpcVlfOu1T7UOxJhVUNYRXB5xR5eUe8TX69WV_PMDjDHRU/s400/iso-14001EMS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The first step down this road requires a business to enroll for an <a href="http://sctrainingcentre.com.au/courses/environmental-iso-14001-lead-auditor-2/" target="_blank">environmental awareness training course</a>, and put in place environmental management system ISO 14001.<br />
<br />
An environmental awareness training course puts the health of the environment at the centre of your operations, and will instill confidence in your products and gain you more customers.<br />
<br />
A management system consultant will be able to advise on an environmental management system specifically developed to suit that business.<br />
<br />
<b>Achieve targets</b><br />
<br />
To develop an EMS, a business or organisation has to assess its environmental impacts, set targets to reduce these impacts, and plan how to achieve the targets.<br />
<br />
Environmental management system ISO 14001 is suitable for any size or type of organisation, and covers an array of issues, including water and sewage, air pollution, soil contamination, waste management, resource use and efficiency.<br />
<br />
Environmental Standard ISO 14001 is not a one-off event, and should incorporate an EMS lead auditor course, so that the business can continually monitor and improve its operation.<br />
