Another Great Outcome!

/in , , , ,

From May 2 – 5, 2022 Menno Place was audited by the BC Municipal Safety Association to determine the status of our Occupational Health and Safety Program. This is a voluntary audit that Menno Place chooses to have done each year to ensure we meet and exceed the safety standards required by WorkSafeBC.

We are very pleased that we passed with flying colors – with a final score of 94%! This is an exceptional outcome, considering the extra staffing challenges and safety requirements we have gone through this past year.

Thanks to all our team members, supervisors, Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee members, and the entire leadership team for your dedication and commitment to Safety at Menno Place!
