Property care and maintenance

As your place of worship is a key focal point of the community, it is all the more important that it is well maintained.

The Church and its responsible persons could be liable under health and safety laws in the event an incident/accident occurred on the premises through a lack of care and maintenance. This could attract personal liability.

This section provides general information and guidance on maintenance for your place of worship. It also offers assistance on what to consider if your premises are hired out to external organisations or become unoccupied.

Essential information is also provided on what to do if any building work is being undertaken and how to manage contractors you employ.
