Measuring the level of workplace accidents is a way to determine how big the accident in an organization or in comparison with similar organizations across industry sectors or even on a national scale. This measurement is done by comparing the number of <i>victims</i> to the amount of labor in a given time period.</div>

<i>Quality Management</i> as a system to ensure compliance with the performance and results of the project defined quality standards include:<br />
<ul>
<li><b><i>Quality planning</i></b>: setting standards of quality and standards of the appropriate configuration for the project and how its fulfillment.</li>

<br />
The<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_audit"> Quality audit</a> is the process of systematic examination of a quality system conducted by an internal or external quality auditor or an audit team. The audit is important part of organization's quality management system and is a key element in the ISO quality system standard, ISO 9001.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://qualityf1rst.blogspot.com/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFAQxui6nGXRdg_TDVFwhxihMVGU4ZNwrcUBUe2-JMGL-SCzhK7cc5vxeloV2Kv9F-0ot_n0Z4q59qf9YizxZ2tcmcvSBpoGK7ZP9wg67QCVEjUoAZhY0PDv4xDC1c0bgkJpAYPzjEXk6/s200/kaca-pembesar2.jpg" width="200" /></a>Audits are an essential management tool to be used for verifying objective evidence of processes, to assess how successfully processes have been implemented, for judging the effectiveness of achieving any defined target levels, to provide evidence concerning reduction and elimination of problem areas. For the benefit of the organisation, quality auditing should not only report non-conformances and corrective actions, but also highlight areas of good practice. In this way other departments may share information and amend their working practices as a result, also contributing to continual improvement.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Internal audits will help you focus your ISO 9001 quality audits on "opportunity identification" rather than on "catching people".<br />

An ISO quality audit is a management tool used to evaluate, confirm, or verify activities related to quality. ISO 9001 quality audits are the most common ISO standard for audits, but audits for all ISO standards can be done.<br />
<br />
<b>Benefits of an ISO 9001 Quality Audit</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Quality audits can be extremely beneficial - when done correctly. They help you<i> "find and fix" problems </i>during implementation. An ISO 9001 quality audit is one of the most effective tools in the ISO 9001 toolkit for ensuring a certain level of discipline in performance as well as driving long term continuous improvement.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>ISO 9001 Quality Audit Categories</b><br />
<br />
<b><i>System Audit</i></b> - looks at a particular system which includes multiple processes and can spread across several employees and departments. The audit of your calibration system can be considered a system audit. Your process interaction document identifies your systems.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Conformance Audit</i></b> - an audit to define system requirements. These are global in nature. For example a 3rd party audit of your ISO 9001 system is a conformance audit.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Compliance Audit </i></b>- an audit to regulatory requirements. This includes government agency audits.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Process Audit</i></b> - a focused audit on a set of processes within your organization. It examines adherence to procedures and specifications during production or service activities.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Product Audit</i></b> - a focused audit on the product itself. This is typically an inspection activity.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Department Audit</i></b> - a focus audit on one department that looks at the processes, specifications, and systems in one department only. It will look at the different operations with in that department. It will also examine department organization and training. The purchasing or design departments can be typical department audits.<br />

<b><i>Quality, health, safety, environment</i></b>. </h3>
Four components of a responsible corporate management approach based on the belief that all accidents are caused by human error and are, therefore, preventable with better training and administration.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Quality</i></b><br />
<a href="http://qualityf1rst.blogspot.com/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjCFqfD3qtLU5HrXPzNz5VkLTNqMt2pOqOtcmm-8z0S3svCOpN31u9XAldxLZeRbvyaAoazPzR-5UQ7E1yPsszTBAKxaIfM2NaUCLj_UFQYOu1jvh9pHmksabVzAkuZfYI3-lunScSbHI/s320/untitled.JPG" width="320" /></a>Quality is continuous improvement, quality is customer satisfaction, quality is conformance to requirements, quality is conformance to specifications, quality is cost, quality, time and more definition of a quality<br />
<br />
It's easy to say the definition of quality but the reality is very difficult to implement, especially if we want to make a deal with the definition of the work we adopt the entire definition of quality.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Therefore we need to understand more about the definition of quality and how to implement it in accordance with the product that we produce good products in the form of goods or services that we provide Quality health, safety and environment <b><i>(QHSE)</i></b><br />
<br />
Working with a <i>safe, healthy, free from workplace accidents and occupational diseases </i>are the rights of workers. In fact accidents and illnesses that occur within the work still going on.<br />
Occupational accidents not only cause casualties and material losses for workers and employers, but also can interfere with the production process as a whole, destroy the environment, which in turn, will impact on the wider community.<br />
<br />
It required a Health and Safety program within the work as an attempt to create a workplace that is safe, healthy, free from workplace accidents and occupational diseases, which in turn is expected to improve efficiency and productivity.<br />

The ISO 9000 family of standards is related to quality management systems and designed to help organizations ensure that they meet the needs of customers and other stakeholders while meeting statutory and regulatory requirements related to the product.<br />

The standards are published by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, and available through National standards bodies. ISO 9000 deals with the fundamentals of quality management systems, including the eight management principles on which the family of standards is based. ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organizations wishing to meet the standard have to fulfill.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Quality management</span></i></b> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">has a specific meaning within many business sectors. This specific definition, which does not aim to assure 'good quality' by the more general definition, but rather to ensure that an organization or product is consistent, can be considered to have four main components: quality planning, </span>quality control<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_assurance" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0b0080; line-height: 19px; text-decoration: none;" title="Quality assurance">quality assurance</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> and quality improvement.</span></span><br />
