burial grounds, chapels, crematoriums

Health and safety audits are carried out, followed by a written report.

Health and safety policies are prepared, COSHH risk assessments prepared.

We carry out risk assessments in a sensitive and respectful manner.

We recommend that suspect stones be supported and not laid down, this avoids offending and upsetting the relatives.

Key Benefits

  • Benefit 1 - We recommend that suspect memorials are identified with a safety label with a report giving details and a photograph for easy identification.
  • Benefit 2 - We do not recommend topple testing but carry out a hand test to identify unsafe memorials.
  • Benefit 3 - Compliance with all 15 regulations that apply to Burial Grounds.

NOTE

We are at present carrying out an audit for Eastbourne Borough Council at their Oklynge Cemetery and the Crematorium at Langney - the work is being carried out under contract to the council's specifications - this is not the method adopted by our company.
