The Uniting Church in Australia, Synod of Victoria and Tasmania (the Synod) (UCA) is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all persons associated with its activities such as employees, residents, clients, congregation members, visitors, contractors and volunteers.<\/p>\n

Managing health and safety does not need to be complicated, costly or time-consuming. In fact, it is probably easier than you think. The OHS\/WHS Manual provides an overview of the elements of a safety management system relevant to congregations. Although not all elements may be applicable to all congregations, it describes a summary of the key actions recommended and\/or required.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
