Ministries who have a safety officer to oversee safety and risk management often have fewer accidents and injuries. As with other areas of ministry, it is important to have one person who can take responsibility for ensuring these items are cared for in a timely fashion.<br /> <br /> Activities typically coordinated by a safety officer may include receiving and responding to maintenance requests around the church, performing annual inspections, coordinating seasonal maintenance, emergency planning, and reviewing activity safety procedures.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;
