Typical hazards & measures
Handling communion cloths and vestments
— Provide training in correct washing and drying, using non-abrasive detergents. Store in climate-controlled cupboards with silica packs to prevent mould. Inspect regularly for signs of damage or pests.
Musculoskeletal injuries from lifting heavy items
— Train staff in safe lifting, never twisting while carrying. Use trolleys or dollies for pews and furniture, and always lift in pairs for heavy items. Rotate manual tasks to reduce repetitive strain.
Noise from vacuum cleaners or machinery
— Schedule noisy work outside of worship times, keep machines maintained to reduce volume, and provide hearing protection for sensitive individuals. Record maintenance in logbook.
Inhalation of sprays or fumes
— Open windows and doors during and after use, avoid using aerosols in confined spaces, and rotate tasks to limit prolonged exposure. Provide masks for sensitive users and ensure no mixing of incompatible products.
Dust accumulation in organ lofts or storage areas
— Schedule quarterly deep cleans using dust-control tools. Provide masks and protective clothing for workers. Restrict access for children and untrained volunteers to areas with heavy dust build-up.
