Hi all, a few days ago I asked if anyone had any experience of h&s inspections of cemetaries, and although I was grateful for the couple of replies I had, no-one seemed to have a checklist or something similar I could use. I'm hoping that a new reader of this thread may be able to help???
Regards to all, - Chris

Have you contacted the Institute of Cemetery & Crematorium Management (website http://www.iccm-uk.com/ ) they may be able to offer advice

Many issues to deal with, to include:

Who erects head stones etc the council &/or approved persons

Private persons erecting headstones etc. As you have no 'easy' control over somebody doing their own thing on their own plot

Differing HSE inspectors / areas as some have completely different opinions to others

Traceability of who owns what so as you can get a repair [ or even an inspection in some cases] done

Differing religions/races having differing practices

Ages of plots etc and differing cemetery types in the same borough locations

Closed and open grave yards

A mechanical build / test check list is easy up to a point as its a fine line between NDT testing and destructive testing a head stone as a 'wobble' to far can change a solid head stone into an unstable headstone. Thereafter who pays for repairs etc

Soil types

Etc
