Three things combined HSE governance procedures routinely omit

[PHASE 2 — build from the Device combined version. The worker participation omissions from the ISO 45001 version carry over. Appendix D covers environmental and OH&S divergences.]

What’s included

[Build from the ISO 9001 version, substituting verified clause numbers.]

Every appendix, form and worked example is part of the document. Nothing is sold separately.

Who it’s for

EHS managers running both standards under one system, and consultants supporting integrated HSE management systems.

Questions

Is this a template or a finished procedure?

Both, deliberately. It is written as a filled-in worked example so you can see what each element looks like when done properly, with bracketed placeholders wherever a value is genuinely yours to set — frequencies, roles, thresholds, systems, retention periods. You are editing a working document rather than filling in a hollow outline.

How is this different from a management review template?

A management review template runs the meeting. This procedure determines what arrives at the meeting: who produces each required input, on what frequency, and where the record lives before the review opens. If your reviews are hard to prepare, the problem is upstream of the agenda.

Does it cover the whole standard?

No. It covers the governance layer — context, leadership, policy, objectives, planning, resources, communication, monitoring and management review. It references neighboring processes such as risk management, competence, internal audit and corrective action rather than replacing them.

What format is it?

Editable Microsoft Word (.docx), with the process interaction map supplied separately as an editable SVG where the version includes one. Adapt it, rebrand it, and adopt it into your own document control system. The license permits the buying organization to use it across its own sites and issue it to employees, contractors and auditors, and permits consultants to adapt it for engagements they deliver.

Will this pass an audit?

A procedure does not pass an audit; an organization does. What this gives you is a procedure that addresses every requirement of the clauses it covers, with a named owner and a named record, describing a process people can actually follow. Conformity is demonstrated by implementation and evidence. Unfilled placeholders are unmet requirements, so fill them.

We use different clause numbering.

Every cross-reference sits in a table at the back rather than baked into the body text, precisely so you can renumber without unpicking the procedure.

Which one do I need?

Take the version matching your certification. If you run two or three standards under one system, the combined versions are built for that. If you are unsure where your current process sits, the free Leadership and Commitment Maturity Check will tell you before you spend anything.

Can you help us implement it?
