Preventive Law Approach: Turn Your QMS Into a Risk Management Platform

James W. Kolka explores ISO 9001:2000 with a particular focus on using implementation of an ISO 9001-conforming QMS as a platform for risk management. He provides a look at how ISO 9001:2000’s requirements provide a comprehensive structure to use to engage in risk management, explores the traditional areas of liability exposure and how ISO 9001’s clauses and subclauses parallel them and emphasizes the importance of using ISO 9004:2000 and practicing preventive law with your QMS.
