All interior and exterior construction and decorating activities at any campus or building must be reviewed by the Operations Team for scope and engineering purposes as it pertains to affixing and securing any or all items to a building before work begins. Work must be pre-planned and scheduled.
Work must be performed by a pre-approved licensed and insured Contractor while adhering to Federal, State, and local code requirements. Supervision in these circumstances falls under the Operations Team unless otherwise stipulated in writing.
Any approved and scheduled work (construction of any kind) not falling under the supervision of the Operations Team requires a Staff member to be responsible and present at all times for any work being done by an outside company or volunteer at any Church campus outside normal business hours to address any emergencies.
A list of pre-approved contractors and volunteers with proper credentials and training will be maintained by Facilities. Ministry will have the option to utilize these individuals as needed for minor “stage design and upgrade” type of work that includes decorating and construction activities while adhering to the guidelines noted above.
Maintaining the infrastructure of our facilities is critical to ensuring effective ministry, safe environments for occupants, and efficient operations. Our risk matrix helps facility managers identify and prioritize areas of risk, and take proactive measures to manage them.
| Severity vs Likelihood | Limited impact | Group-wide impact | Demographic-wide impact | Congregation-wide impact | Community-wide impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maint. req’d | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| End-of-life | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
| Failure of function | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 |
| Unsafe or unusable | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 |
Once risks have been identified, facility managers can create a risk management plan to reduce or eliminate them. This plan should include a strategy for responding to risks, such as initiating a repair or implementing an emergency protocol. It should also include a timeline for addressing risks, as well as a budget for the necessary actions.
Internal risks typically stem from the facility itself and include such issues as poor maintenance or inadequate safety protocols.
External risks may be caused by forces outside of the facility's control, such as equipment failure or natural disasters.
