One practical system for quality, environment, health and safety and information security. Fewer documents, one audit programme, and a system your team will actually use.

Integrated Management Systems (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001) | TLN Consulting

Integrated Management Systems

One management system, not four

If you hold or want more than one ISO certification, you shouldn’t be running more than one system. Separate manuals, separate audits and separate meetings cost time, confuse your team and make it easy for things to fall through the gaps.

I build integrated management systems (IMS) that cover quality, environment, health and safety and information security in one set of processes, designed around how your business really works.

What integration means in practice

  • One set of core processes. Document control, internal audit, corrective action, management review and training are written once and used for every standard.
  • One audit programme. Your internal audits can cover several standards at the same time, and your certification body can often combine external audits too. 
  • One management review. Your directors look at quality, environment, safety and security in the same meeting, so decisions are made with the whole picture.
  • Less paperwork. Fewer procedures, shorter documents and records your team will fill in because they’re useful.

Which standards?

StandardWhat it covers
ISO 9001Quality: consistent delivery, customer satisfaction, fewer errors
ISO 14001Environment: legal compliance, waste, energy, sustainability
ISO 45001Health and safety: managing risk and keeping people safe
ISO 27001Information security: protecting data and systems
ISO 42001AI governance: using AI safely and with evidence [See the ISO 42001 page →]

You can start with one and add others later. A well-built first system makes each addition far quicker.

Who it’s for

  • Construction, engineering and manufacturing businesses that need certification to win tenders and work with major clients.
  • Businesses that already have separate systems and want to simplify them.
  • Companies going through growth, restructuring or change of leadership, where a clear system keeps control steady.

How it works

  1. A conversation. A 20-minute call about your goals, timeline and what’s in the way.
  2. A gap review. A focused look at where you are against the standards and your real processes.
  3. Building it together. A lightweight system in your language, with training for everyone from site teams to directors.
  4. Internal audits and legal compliance. Checking that it works in practice, and that you’re meeting your legal obligations.
  5. Certification support. I stay with you through the external audit, up to the certificate and beyond.

What my clients get

  • A system that fits the business, not a folder of paperwork.
  • Evidence that stands up to scrutiny from clients, tender assessors and certification bodies.
  • A team that understands the system and can run it, with training included where you need it.
  • Legal compliance, risk and continuity built in rather than added later.
  • A partner who stays: many clients have worked with me for years.

An example: keeping a system steady through change

A construction contractor with ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 went through several changes in its SHEQ leadership over 2 years, with gaps of around six months between appointments. It was also splitting into divisions and digitalising its processes.

I worked as an extension of their team: maintaining the system and audit programme, handing over to each new SHEQ manager, auditing new arrangements, and training department heads and process owners to take on responsibilities themselves. The owner became actively involved too. Certification was maintained throughout. The system now belongs to the whole business, not just one role. [Read the full case study →]

How I work

I’m an independent, auditor-led consultant, not tied to any certification body or software vendor. I use modern tools, including AI, to work faster and go deeper, and every output is checked against your real evidence before it reaches you. [Read how I use AI →]
