Sims Recycling Solutions Chicago Facility Achieves Certification

Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS) reports that its Chicago facility has become its second U.S. facility to achieve OHSAS 18001 certification.

OHSAS 18001 is an international occupational health and safety management system standard to enable an organization to control its health and safety risks and improve its performance. OHSAS 18001 certification is the result of an audited-verification of the organization’s management system to achieve those goals.

In a release announcing the achievement, Jim Glavin, vice president of operations for SRS North Region, says, "I would personally like to thank everyone involved in making this project successful.”

"We have always had exceptionally high standards for the safety of our employees, contractors, and visitors, and will continue to work hard to secure our vision of continuous improvement and excellence in recycling," he adds.
