Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Management

Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Management (QHSE) generally refers to a management operation mode which integrates the common elements of the ISO9001, OHSAS18001 and ISO14001 standards. A narrow definition of QHSE points to the management system used by the international oil and gas industry. A broad definition of QHSE refers to quality, health, safety and environment management that is suitable for all types of organizations (Han 2008). In general, QHSE is an organic, systematic and structural dynamic management system, which consists of implementing quality, health, safety, and environmental management by organization, duty, practice, process, procedure, resources and so on, through the use of a prevention guiding ideology, using the PDCA management method.

Establishing a Quality, Health, Safety, Environment (QHSE) management system provides an effective means of protecting employees' health and safety, as well as the environment, and doing it in a cost-effective and well-planned manner. Based on the understanding that all accidents are the result of human error, and are preventable, establishing QHSE management also results in overall better training and administration methods.
