Safety Auditor

General Purpose

PACS is experiencing rapid growth and is committed to making safety a foundational element of our culture.

We are developing a best-in-class safety program that goes beyond regulatory compliance to proactive prevention, cultural integration, and measurable injury reduction.

The Safety Auditor will play a pivotal role in this mission — leading facility audits, identifying and mitigating risks, influencing behavior, and collaborating across leadership levels.

We're seeking somebody who is resourceful, solutions-oriented, and thrives in an evolving environment where they'll grow alongside the business.

Essential Duties


* Conduct comprehensive safety and property audits across all PACS facilities, with a target of two visits per facility per year.


* Evaluate facility conditions, systems, and operations against applicable regulatory frameworks (OSHA, NFPA Life Safety Code, state/local requirements) and PACS internal standards.


* Inspect key risk domains including:
+ Slip, trip, and fall hazards (interior/exterior)
+ Patient/resident handling and positioning
+ Combative resident scenarios and restraint ergonomics
+ Fire protection systems (sprinklers, alarms, suppression)
+ Emergency lighting/generator systems
+ Electrical and mechanical safety
+ Kitchen/food service suppression systems
+ Exterior site conditions (walkways, lighting, access, exits)
+ Documentation, logs, preventive maintenance, staff training.


* Review documentation and records: injury logs, OSHA 300/300A, IIPP/injury prevention programs, audit reports, maintenance schedules, training completion, emergency drills.


* Identify hazards, generate clear audit findings, partner with facility leadership to develop, implement, and monitor corrective action plans.


* Provide photo documentation, digital summarised reports, status tracking of open items, and follow-up verification.


* Aggregate data across audits to identify trends, systemic risks, and opportunities for proactive prevention.


* Partner with the VP of Safety & Risk Management to develop and refine audit tools, reporting dashboards, and predictive metrics that drive down incident frequency and severity.


* Champion the adoption of a strong safety culture — engaging facility leadership and staff, coaching toward safe behaviors, and elevating safety as a core value at PACS.


* Travel extensively: anticipate multiple overnight stays, site visits across geographic regions, ability to adapt to busy schedule and shifting priorities.

Required Qualifications


* Foundational understanding of OSHA standards, NFPA Life Safety Code, or healthcare facility safety practices (training provided for the right candidate).


* Strong observational, problem-solving, and communication skills.


* Excellent attention to detail and ability to document findings clearly and concisely.
