Risk-Based Approach in the Implementation of Integrated Management Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The risk-based approach is one of the keys used in the implementation of management systems using requirements from the management standards. If the management systems are implemented separately, the risks are evaluated from only one perspective, but when two or more systems are integrated, the approach must take into account the synergetic effects of the risks due to system integration. The paper aims to highlight the specific risks encountered when implementing management systems in organizations, underlining the risks associated with systems management and integrated management systems. In this work, a synthesis was presented including an analysis of the risks that occurred during the implementation of management systems and those that occurred during their integration, the need and opportunity of risk management, the advantages, and barriers in the approach of risk management in the industrial sector. The review of the literature comprises the assessment of 190 papers, 11 books, and 5 standards. The content of the paper highlights a synthesis of risk-based thinking and the risks that can manifest in the implementation of quality, environmental, and occupational safety and health management systems in industrial organizations, as well as those which can manifest in the implementation of integrated management systems. In addition, the benefits and barriers in risk management and risk management strategies, with an emphasis on the presentation of the Deming approach to risk management, were evidenced. Some recommendations and proposals for future research were made.

“…Overall, when we incorporate risk management and risk-based thinking into food ethics we allow for a systemic approach to identifying, assessing, and addressing ethical concerns in food production and consumption described by Ispas et al [168]. If we proactively manage risks and seize opportunities that align with ethical values, we will allow the food industry to uphold its commitment to ethical standards and contribute to a more sustainable and responsible food system.…”

“…Crear una cultura preventiva en los trabajadores, debido a la labor que desempeñan Payá et al (41) (2020) Cualitativa La presencia de autoridades especializadas, no asegura el fomento de medidas preventivas.…”

“…Para la eficiente cultura preventiva en materia de riesgos laborales a nivel psicosocial, es importante mantener una política que se base en la representación especializada de planes de prevención, esto provoca que, según Payá et al (41) , los procedimientos tengan un carácter relacional. Deben existir delegados de prevención lo cual se vincula con la generación de planes y procedimientos que permiten evitar el estrés laboral, de igual manera las "amenazas, insultos o agresiones".…”
