In today’s business environment, organizations are encouraged to manage quality, environmental, and occupational health & safety requirements in an integrated way, rather than as separate management systems.

The introduction of the High-Level Structure (HLS) across ISO standards provides a common framework that supports the integration of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 into a single Integrated Management System (IMS).

This eLearning module introduces the key concepts, structure, and requirements of an IMS, with a focus on integrating Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems. Learners will gain an understanding of how principles such as the process approach, PDCA cycle, risk-based thinking, and life-cycle perspective are applied in an integrated system.
