Health and Safety

Health and Safety legislation affects all Baptist churches – whether or not they own a building. Responsibility rests with the church’s Charity Trustees but many churches appoint a Health and Safety Officer to help ensure good practice.

Our H&S leaflet includes information on fire safety, reporting accidents and electrical installation inspections, a sample Health and Safety Policy and a Risk Assessment Checklist and much more.

Asbestos is hazardous so property owners, including churches, need to take special care to avoid any person coming into contact with it.
