Abstract

The implementation of quality, environment and occupational health and safety management systems has become a priority for many organizations. In order to beable to determine to what extent the implementation of the ISO 14001 and OHSAS18001 standards really has a voluntary character, or, on the contrary, it is a result ofthe rigorous legislation that regulates the development of mining activities in ourcountry, an empirical study was conducted among the Spanish mining companies thatpossess one o more certified management systems. Likewise, and given the existing compatibility among the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards, we analyze the integration of management systems in the Spanish mining sector.
