The fundamental for any organisation be it accredited or not is to have a 'safe and secure' working environment which meets necessary regulatory requirements and that is the essence of FMS chapter.
If you feel this fundamental aspect is there and there are certain interpretations related aspects which you need to clarify kindly send in few examples of your bottlenecks and I shall try and respond to it.
In case the basic fundamental aspect is not adhered to as stated above, then the same should be addressed immediately as it should have been done in the first place itself and the costs now must be felt therefore.
