Risk Calendar
03 November 2020
The risk calendar marks key risks throughout the year to help you protect your church and those who use it
 | Bad weather - Check pipes and lag where necessary, clear fallen leaves from pathways, ensure trees are safe, and clear roof valleys and gutters of debris.
|
 | Fire risk assessment - Review your fire risk assessment. It is important to do this on an annual basis and is a legal requirement.
|
 | Merry Christmas - Review your safety and escape procedures. Check all Christmas lights, power cables, extension leads and precautions for candles and extra equipment.
|
 | Water pipes and heating - Check that your water pipes are lagged, the stopcock is clearly labelled, and your heating system has been serviced by a registered engineer.
|
 | Health and Safety - Review your health & safety arrangements to ensure they remain adequate and are compliant with relevant legal requirements.
|
 | Electrical Wiring - Check that electrical systems have been inspected by a qualified electrician within the last five years and all portable appliances have been tested.
|
 | Fetes and events - Review arrangements to ensure everyone has a great time and remains safe.
|
 | Church security - Open your church during the day and lock it at night, lock valuables in a secure area and remove anything that could aid an arson attack.
