One of INK Group’s recent priorities in this respect has been the implementation and certification of an integrated management system that combines an environmental management system (EMS) and an occupational health and safety management system (OHSAS), according to international standards ISO 14001 and ISO 45001:2018.
The integrated management system applies to the following legal entities:
• OOO “Irkutsk Oil Company”
Business area: exploration, drilling, facilities construction and development of oil and gas fields, production, processing and transportation of oil, gas and gas condensate.
• AO “INK-Zapad”, OOO “INK-NefteGazGeologiya”, OOO “ToT”, OOO “Sakhaneft”, AO “INK-Krasnoyarsk”, OOO “Paiga”
Business area: exploration, drilling, facilities construction and development of oil and gas fields, production and transportation of oil, gas and gas condensate.
• OOO “INK-SERVICE”
Business area: oil and gas well drilling.
• OOO “INK-TKRS”
Business area: current repairs and workover, testing and development of oil and gas wells.
• OOO “INK-StroyNefteGaz”
Business area: construction of site and linear facilities, well pad facilities construction, and engineering infrastructure.
Since 2013 INK Group has implemented and effectively maintained the integrated management system that combines an environmental management system (EMS) and an occupational health and safety management system (OHSAS). In August 2019, INK Group’s integrated management system successfully passed a third-party audit by the world’s leader in certification of industrial enterprises — DQS Holding GmbH.
Based on the audit results, INK Group not only confirmed the validity of its EMS certificate of compliance with requirements of the international standard ISO 14001:2015, but also was one of the first organizations in Russia to receive an OHSAS certificate of compliance with requirements of the new international standard ISO 45001:2018.
Since its foundation, INK Group has been paying particular attention to environmental protection, ensuring occupational health and the safety of its employees, introducing leading-edge management technologies and tools that are used in the world’s best companies of the industry. The annual confirmation of its international certification status is a guarantee that INK Group moves in the right direction and ensures HSE management according to state-of-the-art global standards.
