How the service is delivered
1. Understand
Confirm scope, sites, activities, interested parties, existing systems, legal or certification criteria, resources and priorities.
2. Evaluate
Review documents, records and operational evidence, identify gaps and assess significance according to risk and business need.
3. Develop and implement
Create or improve policies, procedures, registers, controls and templates while supporting responsible managers with implementation.
4. Verify and improve
Use inspections, audits, performance information, corrective action and management review to demonstrate effectiveness.
Implementation and ongoing support
Implementation support may include workshops with managers and process owners, review of draft documents, development of registers and templates, coaching on evidence requirements, and checks that agreed controls are operating in practice. Existing systems are used wherever they remain suitable, helping to avoid unnecessary duplication.
Retained support can maintain registers, conduct internal audits, facilitate management reviews, monitor corrective actions, respond to organisational change and provide access to professional advice. This helps prevent the system from becoming a static set of documents.
Effectiveness is reviewed through evidence sampling, interviews, observations and performance trends. Where implementation is incomplete, the underlying cause is considered so that the response addresses resources, competence, communication, supervision or process design.
