Management Systems

Management systems built for your business.

QSG designs and implements fit-for-purpose management systems that assist businesses in meeting compliance obligations, improving operational efficiency, and preparing for certification or accreditation. Whether you require a high-level system for major infrastructure projects or a streamlined solution for trade-specific operations, we tailor our systems to your specific business risks, context, and strategic goals. 

Integrated Business Management Systems (IBMS).

A management system built for principal contractors, large-scale service providers and organisations delivering or seeking Australian Government-funded projects.

Our IBMS is QSG’s most comprehensive management system, built for principal contractors, large-scale service providers and organisations delivering or seeking Australian Government-funded projects. It brings Quality, Safety and Environmental requirements into a single management system that aligns to the requirements of ISO certification and the FSC Audit Criteria, covering everything from your corporate policies and procedures through to the tools your team uses on the ground every day.

Integrated Management Systems (IMS)

Designed for trade contractors, engineering firms, project management companies and other businesses across a wide range of industries that need a single management system covering Quality, Safety and Environmental requirements.

The IMS is designed for businesses outside the major construction sector that want a single, structured management system covering Quality, Safety and Environmental requirements. This includes trade contractors, engineering firms, project management companies and other SMEs across a wide range of industries. It is built to meet the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, making it the right starting point for businesses working towards certification or those that simply want a compliant, practical system in place without the complexity of a large-scale management system.

Principal contractor / subcontractor safety documentation

Principal contractors and subcontractors that require compliant safety documentation in place before work begins, or to meet the contractual requirements of their client or principal contractor. 

QSG develops project-specific safety documentation tailored to your role on the project, whether you are the principal contractor or a subcontractor. The documentation is built to meet the requirements of the WHS Act and Regulations for your jurisdiction and the specific expectations of your client, covering everything your team needs to mobilise and manage safety throughout the project.

Why it matters

Meeting Your Obligations

Having the right management system or safety documentation in place is not optional. WHS legislation requires businesses to demonstrate they are managing health, safety and environmental risks, and the right documentation is how you prove it. 

Winning and Keeping Work

Clients, principal contractors and government bodies increasingly require businesses to demonstrate a documented, compliant management system before they will engage them. Having the right system in place puts you in a stronger position to secure and retain work. 

Reducing Risk Across Your Business

A well-structured management system gives your people clear processes to follow and makes it easier to identify and address risks before they result in incidents, injuries or regulatory action. 

Preparing for Certification

Whether you are working towards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 or FSC accreditation, having a properly structured system in place is the foundation on which everything else is built.

Operational Consistency

Clear policies, procedures and tools mean your team is working from the same playbook across every project and every site, reducing errors and making it easier to manage your obligations as your business grows.

Audit Readiness

A maintained management system means your documentation and evidence are always in order when a client, certification body or regulator comes to check.

Our approach

For IBMS and IMS developments, QSG follows a five-phase process to make sure the resulting system works at every level of your business.

01

Information Gathering

Gathering company data, jurisdictional requirements and existing workflows so the system is built on an accurate foundation.

02

System
Design

Establishing the structure of the management system to ensure it aligns with ISO standards, FSC Audit Criteria (where required) and the way your business operates.

03

Technical Development

Drafting the policies, procedures and registers that make up the system, turning the requirements of the standard into practical, usable documents.

04

Validation and Review

Working through the system with your team to make sure every process is fit for purpose and reflects how your business works. 

05

Implementation and Handover

Delivering the system to your team with targeted training and handover support so your people can manage and maintain it going forward. 

For PC/SC safety documentation, we work with you to understand your role and responsibilities under the WHS Act and Regulations so we can produce a corporate-branded documentation package that covers everything you are required to have in place on your projects.

Building Your Package

We develop your corporate-branded safety documentation to meet your obligations under relevant legislation, providing a set of ready-to-use documents for your projects.

Delivery and Handover

Your completed documentation package is delivered with a clear handover, so your team understands what each document is for and how to use it correctly on site.
