Welcome to the Work Health and Safety (WHS) webpage, a home for resources and information for presbyteries and congregations in the Queensland Synod.
This website will be maintained with up to date resources and tools. Themes will be identified as part of a change management program to embed a zero harm culture into our congregations and presbyteries.
We commit ourselves to the care, protection and safety of all people relating to the Uniting Church or our agencies. This includes, but not exclusively: workers (including contractors and volunteers), individuals in official positions, members of our congregations, students, clients, visitors and members of the public.
This Safety Resource material has been developed to assist the presbyteries and congregations implement processes to effectively and practically manage health and safety at their premises and during the activities they undertake in their mission work.

This resource 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 including:
tools to use and
relevant legislation.
