An integrated management system for a mining operation

Answer:

Those are two very general questions. Implementing ISO 9001 and 14001:2015 in a mining environment is no different from other organizations and sectors. For ISO 9001 I would start with the process approach by mapping how the mining operation works as a set of processes. For ISO 14001 I would start with the environmental assessment to identify significative environmental impacts and compliance obligations. Then, I would develop a quality and environmental policy and determine context and interested parties. Then would apply the risk-based approach and develop quality and environmental objectives and plans to meet them. Naturally, there are some iterations needed to fine tune things. Then would start with monitoring of operations/processes and objectives.
