INX International Ink Co. (Schaumburg, IL) announced an instrumental Certified Business Management System after successfully earning certification for three key safety standards.

Eight INX properties attained certification for the latest ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 safety standards, in addition to establishing first-time certification to the OSHAS 18001:2007 safety standard. The eight facilities include the corporate office and Research & Development Center at separate locations in Chicago’s western suburbs, plus manufacturing complexes in Appleton, WI, Charlotte, NC, Edwardsville, KS, Dunkirk, NY and two in Illinois – Homewood and West Chicago.

OHSAS 18001 was developed to be compatible with ISO 9001:2008 (for quality), and ISO 14001:2004 (for environmental) in order to facilitate the integration of quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management systems by organizations. Per INX, some advantages of an effective OHSAS management system include establishing and maintaining a commitment to occupational health and safety; demonstrates a strong commitment to safety excellence; and having organizational structures in place with clear roles and responsibilities.
