The Church Risk Assessment is a crucial document required for religious buildings in Malta to ensure compliance with both local and EU safety regulations while preserving cultural heritage. This assessment becomes necessary when establishing new church operations, conducting periodic safety reviews, or responding to identified safety concerns. It covers comprehensive evaluation of physical, operational, and public safety risks, incorporating requirements from Malta's Occupational Health and Safety Authority Act, Cultural Heritage Act, and relevant EU directives. The document serves as both a legal compliance tool and a practical guide for church administrators, providing detailed risk analysis, mitigation strategies, and action plans. It's particularly important in Malta's context where many churches are historical buildings requiring special consideration for both safety measures and preservation requirements.
