6.77. Reference [25] establishes requirements for the establishment, implementation, assessment and continual improvement of a management system within every organization. A management system designed to fulfil the requirements integrates safety, health, environmental, security, quality and economic elements. Safety is the fundamental principle upon which the management system is based. The management system defines the organizational structure for implementing processes. It also defines the responsibilities and authorities of the various personnel and organizations involved in designing, implementing and assessing the processes and how the activities will be executed. The management system should be applied to all processes, activities, systems and components throughout all the steps of the development and operation of a geological disposal facility.
