Features: Those who are familiar with or have encountered SA8000 in the field of certification consulting generally reflect that, compared to ISO9000, ISO14001, and OHSAS18000, SA8000 seems to have been developed by people who are "not particularly knowledgeable about management systems." This is because its systematic structure is inferior to the aforementioned three standards, and even the commonly accepted "internal audit" is not mentioned in the standard, making its operation somewhat awkward. In response to this situation, after careful deliberation with colleagues in the consulting department, we believe that when introducing SA8000 internally, it should be integrated with the existing ISO9000, ISO14001, and OHSAS18000 management systems to construct a value-added management model for the company. Of course, although this model has obvious imitative traces, it does not hinder the company's acceptance and understanding. This book introduces the development history and future trends of SA8000, analyzes the main content of the SA8000:2001 standard and how to meet its requirements, proposes a value-added SA8000 management model, provides a set of SA8000 sample documents, and offers some important legal and regulatory materials.
