Asbestos Management
The Methodist Church of New Zealand has a simple 3 stage asbestos management plan for everyone, and Stage 1 should be completed now if you haven't done yours already!
The aim of asbestos management planning is to ensure that we don't activate an asbestos risk; that we don't make asbestos dust that puts people at long term risk.
Remember to send your completed asbestos management stages through to the national register via healthandsafety@methodist.org.nz.

Emergency Response Plans
An emergency response plan is the "who does what" if something happens. Such as fire, earthquake, accident and so on.
Templates are attached for parishes/rohe, and for a small office.
Using the templates helps keep it simple but not all eventualities can be covered so the responses in the plan are the main ones. While every attempt has been made to make them easy to use, a certain level of knowledge with MS Word will be required.
Dec 2018 - All templates have been updated to align with the Fire and Emergency NZ Evacuation Regulations 2018.
