All companies manage safety, environmental protection or the health of their workers. They do it if only by complying with applicable legislation or doing nothing, which is also a system (then of non-management).
Every enterprise, in the course of its development, has introduced risk control methods to avoid accidents, or environmental pollution.
At some point in time, these methods, systems, and programmes of all sorts constitute an inextricable web whose complexity becomes counterproductive. Overlaps appear, relationships between the different elements in place are not clear.
There is therefore a need to put the system in order, and to structure everything so that every control measure regains its full meaning, and becomes framed in a complete and consistent set, the Management System.
This approach has proved useful in the area of Quality Management, which led to a definition of these systems in the ISO 9000 standard.
A similar approach in environmental protection has led to the development of the ISO 14001 standard, which codifies environmental management systems in a spirit of continual improvement.
As regards safety, the structuring effort has been based on the ISO 14001 standard, transposing it in the realm of accident control, and introducing risk analysis as a central element. The product of this is the OHSAS 18001 specification, which for various reasons has not been taken as an ISO standard, but has nevertheless been widely adopted as the reference standard for safety and occupational health Management Systems.
A Management System can therefore be defined as a structured set of measures taken or recommended to achieve an initially defined result, guaranteeing stability of this result in order to be able to set even more stringent results, in other words implementing a process of continual improvement.

o Guidelines for Codes of Conduct for Organizations

 Where would I use ISO 10001?

ISO 10001 provides guidance for planning, designing, developing, implementing, maintaining and improving customer satisfaction codes of conduct. It applies to an organization’s promises to its customers regarding its behavior to improve customer satisfaction. It does not prescribe the substance of customer satisfaction codes of conduct.

ISO 10001 can be used by any organizations no matter what type, size or product. The focus is on customers outside of the organization, not suppliers or its personnel..

• Annex A provides examples of codes for different organizations.
• Annex C gives guidance for small businesses.

ISO 10001is not intended for certification or for contractual purposes, and it is not intended to change any rights or obligations provided by applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

If you follow these guidelines, you may improve:

• Customer confidence in an organization
• Customer expectations of your products and customer relationship

ISO 10006 gives guidance on the application of quality management in projects.

It is applicable to projects of varying complexity, small or large, of short or long duration, in different environments, and irrespective of the kind of product or process involved. This can necessitate some tailoring of the guidance to suit a particular project.

This Technical Report provides guidance on the selection of appropriate statistical techniques that may be useful to an organization in developing, implementing, maintaining and improving a quality management system in compliance with ISO 9001. This is done by examining those requirements of ISO 9001 that involve the use of quantitative data, and then identifying and describing the statistical techniques that can be useful when applied to such data.

The list of statistical techniques cited in this Technical Report is neither complete nor exhaustive, and does not preclude the use of any other techniques (statistical or otherwise) that are deemed to be beneficial to the organization. Furthermore, this Technical Report does not attempt to prescribe which statistical technique(s) are to be used; nor does it attempt to advise on how the technique(s) are to be implemented.

This Technical Report is not intended for contractual, regulatory or certification/registration purposes. It is not intended to be used as a mandatory checklist for compliance with ISO 9001 requirements.
