IntroductionHistorically health and safety and other risk aspects such as environmental and quality management have been seen by organizations as important areas in some operations within a company but not directly related to a company's core activities. This has always caused a downward trend in the financing of management systems that effectively support health, safety, quality and environmental risks. Currently, with the rapid evolution of industrial processes and the way industries operate business, there has also been a rapid evolution in the way environmental issues are addressed globally. The rapidly changing business world is largely due to public safety and health needs, technology, global competition and last but not least environmental factors. It is not uncommon to find environmental aspects guiding their marketing strategies in today's companies; this is mainly due to the fact that customers have become more environmentally conscious, which effectively pushes organizations to create products with more identifiable and environmentally safe attributes (Macdonald, 2002). The benefits of using EHS management systems became more evident and relevant as studies by various companies that had successfully integrated these systems gained traction. In the 1950s a case study of the work established in Japan by Deming and Juran, relating to statistical process control and quality management systems, successfully demonstrated that the benefits of considering such risk areas as an integral component of the business they were clear. Subsequent developments have led to the creation of concepts such as Total Quality Management, Six-Sigma, Kaizen and many others....... middle of the document ...... ions normally produce a health and safety plan and a Risk assessments of environmental plans and projects would tend to use different risk assessment scales depending on the type of risk being assessed. Fortunately, we are now experiencing a trend for companies to realize advantages across disciplines, even if they focus on a particular aspect of performance within a company, such as the ability to function better with a common management approach and also based on these similarities. as recognition of the value in considering them not as secondary to the real business but as an integral part of company strategy and planning. This paper aims to examine the benefits and challenges of integrating individual disciplines; in particular ISO 14001 and OSHAS 18001 and how they can be effectively integrated into business strategy.
