Healthcare facilities are critical to our communities, and safety plays a vital role in their day-to-day operations. When hiring external contractors and suppliers, maintaining the highest safety standards help ensure that everyone has a secure environment and reduces risk for patients, families and staff members.
To further strengthen its workplace safety practices, The Ottawa Hospital has recently implemented ISNetworld as its contractor management platform to better identify and manage only the most qualified contractors and suppliers.
“Safety for patients, families and staff members is essential in providing high-quality health care,” says Thomas Hayes, Director, Safety, Security, Parking and Staff Health of The Ottawa Hospital. “By leveraging ISNetworld to help ensure the contractors and vendors we work with are committed to safety and well qualified, we improve safety for everyone who comes through our doors.”
“As ISN’s customer base continues to expand into new markets, we look forward to helping our first Hospital Hiring Client execute their continued focus on workplace safety,” says Kim Ritchie, Director, ISN Eastern Canada.
