3 ISO standards and all plant protocols. Answered in 3 seconds.
IgeraIndustria assists Plant Managers with critical decisions: emergency shutdowns, ISO 9001/14001/45001 audits, OEE management, LPRL safety protocols and shift coordination. Exact procedure citation in under 3 seconds.
Plant Managers juggle 3 ISO standards and dozens of SOPs simultaneously
A Plant Manager is responsible for quality, environmental and safety compliance simultaneously. During an emergency or an audit, finding the right procedure in a mountain of documentation costs time that does not exist on a production floor.
3 ISO
Standards managed simultaneously: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Each with its own audit cycle, documented information and KPIs.

<3s
Response time to cite the exact procedure, SOE number or legal article. Critical when seconds count during emergency shutdowns.
The Plant Manager cannot spend 20 minutes locating the emergency shutdown protocol while the line is stopped, or reconstruct which OEE evidence the auditor will request at clause 9.1. IgeraIndustria puts every procedure, standard and legal obligation at their fingertips in a natural language query.
Instant query across all plant documentation
IgeraIndustria searches across ISO standards, internal SOPs, safety protocols, OEE documentation and legal requirements simultaneously — and returns the exact citation the Plant Manager needs.
Emergency shutdown protocols by equipment
Ask in natural language — “What is the emergency shutdown protocol for the No. 3 reactor?” — and IgeraIndustria retrieves the specific SOE with the exact sequence of steps, responsible persons and post-shutdown checks, cross-referenced with ISO 45001:2018 clause 8.2 (emergency preparedness).
Integrated ISO audit preparation
For each clause of ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, IgeraIndustria generates the verification checklist with mandatory documented information, what the auditor will request and which internal documents serve as evidence. Reduces audit preparation from weeks to hours.
OEE management and KPI documentation
Which OEE KPIs must be documented to satisfy ISO 9001:2015 clause 9.1, how to calculate Availability, Performance and Quality for each line, and what evidence the auditor will verify. IgeraIndustria also identifies deviations from your own operational targets.
LPRL legal requirements by job and task
Article-level citation of Law 31/1995 and its implementing regulations for each Plant Manager query: risk assessments (Art. 16), worker training (Art. 19), medical surveillance (Art. 22), emergency procedures (Art. 20) and contractor coordination (RD 171/2004).
Shift handover protocol compliance
What a shift handover must contain to be audit-compliant: equipment status, active alarms, pending maintenance, safety incidents, critical quality parameters and production changes. Cites ISO 9001 clause 8.5.1 and ISO 45001 clause 8.1 simultaneously.
Cross-standard risk management
ISO 9001 clause 6.1 (quality risks), ISO 14001 clause 6.1 (environmental aspects and impacts) and ISO 45001 clause 6.1 (hazard identification). IgeraIndustria identifies shared risks across standards and avoids duplicating risk matrices.
Complete integrated audit support — ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001
Whether preparing for an internal audit, a surveillance visit or a renewal certification, IgeraIndustria supports the Plant Manager through every phase of the integrated audit cycle.
Pre-audit checklist by clause and standard
For each clause of ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, IgeraIndustria generates a verification list with: the specific requirement, mandatory documented information, expected evidence and most frequent non-conformities detected in that clause during certification audits.
Gap analysis vs three standards
Identifies partially implemented or undocumented requirements across the integrated system. Especially useful for plants migrating from separate management systems to an integrated IMS, or those whose documentation has not been updated since the last certification cycle.
Audit simulation with real auditor questions
IgeraIndustria formulates the questions certification auditors typically ask by clause — including the most demanding in integrated audits — allowing the Plant Manager to identify gaps before the actual visit.
Evidence management across all three standards
For each clause requiring documented information, IgeraIndustria specifies which internal document or record is valid evidence, how it must be identified and controlled, and how long it must be retained. Covers quality, environmental and safety records simultaneously.
Non-conformity closure and CAPA management
Support for the audit NC response process: root cause analysis (5W, Ishikawa, 8D), corrective action definition, reasonable timelines, named responsible persons and how to draft the response for the certification body. Cites clause 10.2 of the relevant standard.
Management review preparation (clause 9.3)
Mandatory inputs for a management review that satisfies all three ISO standards simultaneously: audit results, customer satisfaction, process performance, NCs, resources, risks and opportunities. IgeraIndustria generates a single agenda structure covering all three standards.
The 4 critical domains for the Plant Manager
These four areas concentrate the highest frequency of questions and audit non-conformities in manufacturing plants. IgeraIndustria covers all of them with exact citations and practical guidance.
Emergency protocols and critical shutdown procedures
The Plant Manager must ensure all critical shutdown procedures are current, accessible and known by the personnel responsible for executing them. IgeraIndustria indexes your emergency procedure manual (POE-SEG, SOE or equivalent) and retrieves the specific document for each type of emergency — fire, chemical spill, electrical failure, equipment runaway — citing the step, the responsible person and the ISO 45001:2018 clause 8.2 emergency preparedness requirement. In a real emergency, 3 seconds of search time can prevent a major incident.
OEE measurement and ISO 9001 clause 9.1 evidence
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the main production KPI but is also a normative requirement: ISO 9001:2015 clause 9.1 requires the organisation to determine what to monitor and measure and to retain evidence of results. IgeraIndustria explains how to calculate OEE per line (Availability x Performance x Quality), which documented records satisfy the clause 9.1 requirement, the typical targets by industry sector (>85% world class) and how to present OEE data in the management review (clause 9.3) and in certification audits.
LPRL compliance and occupational safety legal obligations
Spanish Law 31/1995 (LPRL) and its implementing regulations (RD 39/1997, RD 614/2001, RD 773/1997, RD 486/1997) impose specific obligations on the Plant Manager as line manager responsible for safety at plant level. IgeraIndustria provides article-level citations for each query: who must receive what training, which PPE is mandatory for which tasks, when medical surveillance is required and what the Plant Manager must document after a workplace accident or near-miss (Art. 23 LPRL).
Planned shutdown and contractor coordination (RD 171/2004)
Planned plant shutdowns involve multiple contractors working simultaneously, which activates the obligation of coordination of business activities under RD 171/2004. The Plant Manager must designate a safety coordinator, exchange risk information with each contractor, verify that contractor workers have received plant-specific induction, and retain evidence of all coordination activities. IgeraIndustria retrieves the specific coordination obligation for each type of contracted work and cites the RD 171/2004 article and the corresponding ISO 45001:2018 clause 8.1.4.
How IgeraIndustria works for Plant Managers
Five steps from loading your plant documentation to receiving the exact procedure citation or ISO clause reference in under 3 seconds.
Index your plant documentation
Upload your SOPs, emergency protocols, ISO procedures, OEE records, risk assessments and maintenance instructions. IgeraIndustria processes them alongside the full text of ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 within 24 hours.
Connect to your plant management tools
Embed in your plant portal, Teams, Slack or as a WhatsApp bot for the operations team. One line of code. Compatible with any document management system — SharePoint, Confluence, your ERP document module.
The Plant Manager queries in natural language
“What is the emergency shutdown protocol for the ethylene compressor?”, “Which ISO 45001 clauses does the auditor check during a surveillance visit?”, “What documented information must I retain for OEE under ISO 9001 clause 9.1?”
IgeraIndustria searches across 3 layers of knowledge
First in your internal plant documentation (SOPs, POEs, risk assessments, OEE records), then in the three ISO standards indexed with all clauses and documented information requirements, then in applicable Spanish legislation (LPRL, RD 614/2001, RD 171/2004).
Response with exact citation, clause and document reference
The response cites the specific internal SOP and clause number, the ISO standard clause, or the legal article — whichever applies. It also flags whether documented information is mandatory or voluntary, and highlights the most common audit findings for that topic.

in integrated ISO audit
We had three separate ISO systems — quality, environment and safety — managed by different teams with different documents. Every integrated audit was a month of chaos. Since deploying IgeraIndustria for the Plant Manager and the three department heads, every query returns the relevant clause across all three standards simultaneously. Our last integrated audit was the first with zero non-conformities. The auditor commented on the quality of our documented information. That never happened before.

Frequently asked questions — Plant Manager
How does IgeraIndustria handle integrated management systems (ISO 9001 + 14001 + 45001)?
IgeraIndustria indexes all three standards simultaneously and identifies shared requirements between them. For example, it recognises that clause 6.1 (risks and opportunities) appears in all three standards with the same structure — it can answer cross-cutting questions about integrated audits, common documented information and shared processes. The system indicates which requirements are standard-specific (e.g. OEE in quality, environmental aspects in 14001, hazard identification in 45001) versus those shared across the integrated management system, saving the plant manager hours of cross-referencing between three different normative documents.
What should a shift handover protocol contain to be audit-compliant?
A shift handover protocol compliant with ISO 9001:2015 (clause 8.5.1 operational control) and ISO 45001:2018 (clause 8.1 operational planning) must include: equipment status at handover (production parameters, active alarms, pending maintenance), safety incidents or near-misses from the outgoing shift, pending or ongoing corrective actions, critical quality parameters to monitor, changes to planned production and any modified procedure. IgeraIndustria cites the exact clause for each element and can review your current protocol against normative requirements to identify gaps before the next audit.
What procedures must be followed before executing a planned plant shutdown?
A planned plant shutdown requires coordination of several documented procedures: permit-to-work (PTW) system activation, LOTO (lockout/tagout) procedures for each energy source, confined space entry authorisations if applicable, contractor coordination under RD 171/2004 (coordination of business activities), environmental controls for waste or emissions generated during shutdown, and safety inspection of the plant before restart. IgeraIndustria retrieves the specific procedure for each type of work — mechanical, electrical, instrumentation — citing the relevant article of RD 614/2001 (electrical risk), RD 486/1997 (workplaces) or your own internal SOPs, depending on which document applies.
What are the legal PRL requirements a plant manager must ensure are met?
The Plant Manager is the line manager responsible for implementing occupational risk prevention at plant level under Law 31/1995 (LPRL) and RD 39/1997 (Prevention Services Regulation). Key legal obligations include: ensuring workers have received specific training for their job (Art. 19 LPRL), that individual protective equipment has been provided and its use supervised (RD 773/1997), that periodic medical surveillance has been carried out (Art. 22 LPRL), that emergency procedures are current and drills have been conducted (Art. 20 LPRL), and that the risk assessment covers all jobs and is updated after any significant change (Art. 16 LPRL). IgeraIndustria cites the exact legal article for each query and can cross-reference your internal prevention plan.
How do integrated audits work and how can I prepare for them?
An integrated audit evaluates ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 simultaneously, following the Annex SL common high-level structure shared by the three standards. The auditor reviews combined processes (context analysis, risk management, objectives, management review) in a single visit. To prepare, IgeraIndustria can generate audit checklists by clause identifying which evidence applies to which standard, detect documented information gaps, simulate audit questions based on your processes, and flag the most common non-conformities in integrated systems: inconsistent risk matrices, management reviews that do not cover all three standards, and internal audit programmes that omit one of the standards.
What KPIs and OEE metrics should the plant manager monitor and document?
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the product of three factors: Availability (actual production time / planned production time), Performance (actual production rate / theoretical rate) and Quality (good units / total units produced). ISO 9001:2015 clause 9.1 requires the plant to determine what needs to be monitored and measured. Best practice for a plant manager includes: OEE per critical production line (target >85%), MTBF and MTTR per equipment, quality rejection rate by process and shift, energy consumption per unit produced (ISO 50001 indicator), and occupational accident rate (IF and IG under LPRL). IgeraIndustria helps identify which KPIs are normatively required vs operationally recommended, and which documented information must be retained as evidence.
