HLAC re-accreditation for K-Bro Burnaby

30 June 2017

The Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC) has re-accredited the K-Bro Linen Systems operating plant in Burnaby, British Columbia. K-Bro Linen Systems, based in Edmonton, Alberta is the largest owner and operator of laundry and linen processing facilities in Canada.

HLAC is a non-profit organisation that inspects and accredits laundries that process reusable textiles for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities.

The Burnaby laundry is accredited until 2020, having successfully passed a voluntary inspection relating to its complete textile processing cycle. K-Bro's Calgary facility received re-accreditation in September 2016.

The K-Bro inspection included a rigorous review of the Burnaby facility, from handling and transporting soiled healthcare textiles, to in-plant processing and delivery back to the customer - more than 600 standards have to be met to receive HLAC accreditation.

“HLAC accreditation makes for a firm and fast connection with our healthcare customers,” said Linda McCurdy, K-Bro president and CEO. “Knowing we're accredited tells them that we share the same goals when it comes to patient safety. It's a clear advantage that those without HLAC accreditation cannot share.”
