This guide provides practical information on assessing the risk of fire and enhancing the security of places of worship of all faiths. It is aimed at everyone who is responsible for the care and safety of those who worship and those who visit, whether they are employed or volunteers, as well as their property and the place of worship's assets. It identifies the important issues, and encourages an approach in which good fire safety and security practice become familiar and normal to the team. All places of worship have to comply with fire and health and safety legislation and, with responsibility for premises becoming more and more onerous, doing nothing is no longer an option.
