Dear all, I've been asked to carry out an h&s inspection of a cemetary in Malta. I've adapted a checklist that I've used in a variety of environments to take account of specific cemetary-related issues, but then I fell back on my old adage, "don't reinvent the wheel"!! It occurred to me that someone out there amongst my IOSH colleagues might already have something for use with cemetaries, so if any of you does, then I'd be grateful to hear from you. Many thanks, - Chris

I had to look into the safety of headstones a while back. I found this guide helpful.
The Guide to Management of Safety in Burial Grounds (2001). ISBN 0 9541113 0 3.

there has been some very inconsistent enforcement / guidance given out so be aware
biggest problems that I have come across include:
A: The quality of the work undertaken by the modern stonemasons involved is, on average, poor
B: Private works undertaken by the 'owner' of the grave or their builders etc
C: The history of the site; as some very dodgy deals were done in the past which are coming home to to us today
D: The ability to secure some very awkwardly shaped, smooth and weighty stone
