Development of an internal audit checklist for simultaneous audit of integrated management systems
by Bourcier, Denis Robert, M.S., CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, DOMINGUEZ HILLS, 2007, 49 pages; 1441953

Abstract:

Over the last 5 years there has been a growing initiative within the international quality profession to integrate internal management systems conforming to published international standards for three management systems: (a) quality, (b) environmental, and (c) health and safety. Even though a significant amount of commonality exists between the four standards covered in this project (two quality, one environmental, and one occupational health and safety standard), many organizations have found that conducting sequential audits against various standards has been a challenge as separate audit documentation would typically be required. Although the topic of multi-standard conformance has been addressed in the literature with regard to internal audits, a simple audit tool embodying the key elements of the four standards has yet to be described. This project presents a single multi-standard audit criteria document that any aerospace organization might use to simultaneously evaluate conformance to the four standards during a single audit.
