IMS - Integrated Management System Consulting

Unify Standards. Simplify Compliance. Strengthen Performance.

At SSOS, we help businesses streamline multiple ISO standards into one efficient Integrated Management System (IMS). By consolidating your Quality, Safety, and Environmental systems, your business can reduce duplication, simplify compliance, and improve operational effectiveness.

Whether you’re managing ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, or other standards, our expert consultants will guide you through designing and implementing a fully integrated system tailored to your organisation’s goals - helping you operate smarter, faster, and more sustainably.

What is an Integrated Management System (IMS)?

An Integrated Management System (IMS) combines multiple ISO standards - such as ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) - into a single cohesive framework.

Rather than managing multiple standalone systems, an IMS enables businesses to streamline processes, enhance communication across departments, reduce compliance burdens, and drive continuous improvement. This integrated approach improves performance across all areas while ensuring compliance with international standards.

Why Implement an Integrated Management System?

Integrating management systems is a proactive step toward greater efficiency and sustainable business growth. An IMS helps align your strategic objectives with compliance needs and operational performance.

Integrated Management Systems in Australia

In Australia, Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) are a legal requirement for any high-risk work activity. Businesses that fail to comply risk serious penalties, workplace injuries, and reputational damage.

Whether you’re aiming to boost sustainability, improve internal coordination, or meet industry demands, integrating your management systems is a smart, future-ready move. With expert support from Build Safe Consulting, it becomes not only achievable—but highly effective.

Frequently asked questions

What standards can be integrated into an IMS?

Common standards include ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 45001 (Health and Safety). Integration depends on your business needs and compliance goals.

Does integration make certification easier?

Yes. Integrating systems allows for combined audits, reduced documentation, and clearer processes, making both initial and ongoing certification simpler and more cost-effective.

Can I integrate existing systems, or do I need to start from scratch?

You can absolutely integrate your current systems. We assess your existing frameworks and adapt them into one cohesive IMS, preserving what's working and improving what’s not.

Will IMS require more work for my team?

Initially, there will be some planning and training. But over time, an IMS reduces the overall workload by simplifying processes and reducing duplication—making your team’s job easier.

How long does it take to implement an IMS?

This varies depending on the size of your business and the complexity of your current systems. Most organisations can develop and implement an IMS within 4 to 8 months with our structured approach.

How do I maintain an IMS after implementation?

Maintenance involves regular internal audits, management reviews, ongoing training, and periodic updates. We offer ongoing support to help you stay compliant and continually improve your system.
