A Message from the VP, People and Culture

A Successful Safety Audit

Safety is a key priority for Bethany, and our commitment to safety was recently recognized and commended during a PIR safety audit conducted October 16 – 23 at Bethany Calgary, Aidrie, Harvest Hills and Sylvan Lake. PIR refers to Partners in Injury Reduction, and is an important safety program that Bethany has been a participating member of for many years.

Bethany is audited very often (many would say too often!). However, the PIR Audit is the only audit that focusses exclusively on the safety of those who work at Bethany (staff, contractors, volunteers). On behalf of the entire Executive Leadership Team, I wanted to take this opportunity to express our personal gratitude and appreciation to each and every one of our staff and Aramark partners at Bethany Airdrie, Bethany Calgary, Bethany Harvest Hills and Bethany Sylvan Lake for your participation in, and support of, our successful PIR audit.  Passing the audit allows us to re-certify for the provincial Certificate of Recognition for Bethany’s occupational health and safety program for the next three years. Whether you were interviewed by the auditor, completed a questionnaire, or just showed our typical Bethany hospitality and friendliness, it is greatly appreciated.

Employee and contractor safety is one of Bethany’s Standards for Service Excellence, and one of our core values. Participating in Partners in Injury Reduction helps us to evaluate and improve our safety program as part of our ongoing commitment and dedication to providing the safest possible workplace for everyone who comes to work at Bethany. Our safety program can only ever be as good as the people who work with it every day, so thank you to each and every one of you for “living” safety every day in support of “Creating Caring Communities”.
