Can You Be 100% Health & Safety Compliant All the Time?
Health and safety legislation applies to places of worship
just as it does to any other public building, and religious leaders are
responsible for ensuring compliance. But is it possible to be 100% compliant, 100% of the time?
Join us as we address this important question to help you understand the true objectives of health and safety management and what’s really expected of religious organisations. Plus, learn how to properly assess and manage risks within a religious setting so that you can meet your legal obligations and ensure the safety of employees, volunteers and your congregation.
12 September, 2.00 pm - 3.00 pm
What's on the agenda?
Total compliance is often seen as the pinnacle of health and safety success. Despite this, 79% of the 463 people we polled said a quest for 100% compliance isn’t realistic and that, while possible in theory, in practice, there will always be weak points.
Having supported a wide range of religious organisations in this area for the past 15 years, we at WorkNest understand the challenges of meeting regulatory duties. We also know that organisations can sometimes become over-focused on compliance and ‘box ticking’, which can undermine your efforts to truly keep people safe.
In this free 60-minute session, WorkNest’s Senior Client Manager and Health & Safety Lead, Andrew Hall, will help you to understand your responsibilities and make genuine improvements to your health and safety measures. In addition to answering the key question, ‘Can You Be 100% Health & Safety Compliant All the
Time?’, we will cover the following important topics:
- HSE statistics and developments: Including the impact of the law, the current picture, and the HSE’s strategy and plans in response.
- Health and safety compliance: Is it better to strive to be compliant or safe? How do religious environments identify “reasonably practicable” safety measures? And what falls outside of this scope?
- Assessing risk in your religious setting: What are the most common mistakes religious settings make in respect to risk assessments, and how can you get these right?
Have a question for our host?
If you have a specific query about this topic that you would like Andrew to answer, please submit it when signing up using the form above. We will aim to address as many as we can at the end of the session.

Accident Investigation Training
Accident investigation is an essential component of proactive health and safety management. Without it, unsafe practices or working conditions will go unchecked, putting your people and your organisation at further risk.
Our Accident Investigation training course will enable participants to adopt a systematic approach to scrutinising workplace safety incidents, determining why an incident happened and the steps required to prevent reoccurrence.
