Health & Safety Policy

A written Health and Safety policy is a document that outlines the safety measures and responsibilities in your Church. A written policy is a legal requirement in many situations, and is in any case, a recommendation for good practice. There is no set format for a Health and Safety Policy, but it should aim to provide a written commitment about how Health and Safety is being managed for the long term.

The Synod Resources Committee have appointed Health & Safety Consultants, SST Limited, to provide a generic Health & Safety Policy and Risk Assessment templates for use by local churches. The purpose of these documents is to enable local churches to comply with the requirements of the various areas of Health and Safety, but it must not be assumed that you become compliant by merely completing the pro-formas.
