The Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC) is seeking to add to its roster of inspectors. HLAC is the non-profit organisation that inspects and accredits laundries processing textiles for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities.
Interested individuals should visit HLAC's website, review the Inspector Agreement and complete the HLAC Inspector Application, which is due 2 October 2017.
An HLAC inspector is an independent contractor, a laundry and textile professional with wide-ranging experience, whose sole responsibility is to conduct a one-day, on-sight inspection of a healthcare laundry seeking HLAC accreditation.
Inspectors receive in-depth training of HLAC Standards and inspection guidelines before they begin their work, said John Scherberger, president of HLAC's board of directors.
