A RIOS™ management system is built and audited to the rules and requirements that are defined by the RIOS Standard. Each requirement of the standard is carefully crafted and designed to work in harmony, so that a properly implemented RIOS system works like a fine timepiece. The RIOS standard was written and developed by industry leaders and experts and was built on the well-refined concepts of plan-do-check-act. The requirements contained with RIOS™ are not prescriptive, and do not tell you how to run your business, rather provide the blueprint for evaluating, understanding, and eliminating quality, environmental, and health and safety risk within your operation.
