TQM involves all the organizations, all the functions, the external suppliers, the external customers and involves the quality policy. Similarly, TQM cannot be achieved without good Quality Management Systems (QMS) which bring together all functions relevant to the product, providing policies, procedures and documentation. The elements of a quality organization consist of these three mutually dependent items (Field and Swift, 1996) ... 

A signed statement by management without its approval to the quality system documented policies and procedures will indicate that it is not committed to honoring the policies and procedures. Managers need to approve the documents within the quality system that prescribe activities for which they themselves are responsible. This serves to demonstrate that they agree with the manner in which the policy has been interpreted and are prepared to provide the resources needed to implement the documented practices. 

In many organizations, the existing PSM and ESH systems may be partially or almost completely informal. It is essential that this informality is eliminated in the integrated system. An informal system exists when there are few written policies, procedures or standards, or written requirements are not enforced or followed. Informal systems almost invariably contain internal inconsistencies which can lead to breakdowns in PSM and ESH management. Different departments and locations will have different systems. Part of the team s work will be to formalize these informal PSM and ESH management during the integration process. 

Management systems for chemical process safety are comprehensive sets of policies, procedures, and practices designed to ensure that barriers to major incidents are in place, in use, and effective.

Planning is an ongoing feature of all Red Cross disaster activities. The Red Cross disaster response plan documents what it will take to respond to each type of disaster, what resources will be needed, how the resources will be coordinated and used, and contains policies, procedures, and protocols to ensure a systematic management of each facet of response, including those related to health (see Appendix I). The role of the Red Cross in disaster relief is that the Red Cross supplements the resources and services of the local, state, and federal government and does not override or substitute for the local, state, and federal governments responsihilities in times of disasters. The American Red Cross is not a first responder—all disasters are local—hut its services can be activated when the local need exceeds the availahle resources.

The responsibility of the management for the replacement procedures consists again in drawing up the policies and principles to be followed in such a case, since the GLP Principles require that replacement of a Study Director should be done according to established procedures .

A structured safety and health management system needs to be driven by written standards. These standards are the safety system elements spelled out in detail, listing what must be done by whom and how often.
