Apart from being good management, documentation is increasingly a formal necessity for legal, contractual, or commercial reasons. To make life harder, many workplaces are subject to multiple compliance requirements (eg, ISO 9000 plus workplace safety).

The challenge is to meet all requirements in a single, minimal set of documents. It's hard enough to get employees to use one set of documents; to expect them to comply with several is asking too much. It's also asking too much of managers to expect them to keep multiple sets of documentation up-to-date and mutually consistent.

Good compliance documentation offers these benefits:

Compliance made easy: simple documentation makes life easier for your employees and operators. Doing the right thing is easier, and compliance is easier to demonstrate.

Simpler audits: the simpler the documents, the simpler the audit. Simple audits are quicker and cheaper.

A single set of documents: with imaginative editing it is possible to meet multiple formal requirements, and management objectives, with one set of readable documents.

We can help with your documentation for ISO 9000, ISO 14000, HACCP (food safety), occupational health and safety, and other formal requirement systems, whether you are just starting out or you find yourself buried under an existing mountain of conflicting and unreadable documents.
