Answer:
The transition is a good chance to implement additional standards and create integrated management system. First step would be to conduct gap analysis and determine to what extent your existing system is compliant with new version of ISO 9001 and what needs to be done to achieve full compliance. This should be your first input for the project plan for transition and integration with ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
The second step would be to identify common requirements of ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001 and try to implement they at the same time with the transition steps for ISO 9001:2015. ISO 14001:2015 also went through the same changes as ISO 9001 so they now have same clause numbers for common requirements, ISO organization plans to replace OHSAS 18001 with ISO 45001 and this will probably happen next year so you will be ready with our experience with the transition process and knowledge about new versions of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and this will make your job much easier.
The next step is to implement the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:20015 and OHSAS 18001:2007 and once the system is in place you will need to conduct internal audit and management review so you can be sure that your system is compliant with the standards so you can hire certification body to conduct certification audit.
