We’ve successfully washed sally’s & tail ends. The top end was removed c0.5m above the sally (top end needed replacing). Sally’s and bottom end were put in a pillow case and washed in a machine on a wool cycle and wool detergent. We tried it as we didn’t have anything to loose. I think 2 Sally’s per load.
Worked very well but they took 2 weeks to dry so don’t try it if you don’t have a washing line and good weather forecast. I don’t think tumble drying would be an option.

Bump hats are usually adequate but if someone is working above you with with a large adjustable then a hard hat could be appropriate. Risk assess it!

Is your church H&S person actually qualified or appointed to the role as there was no one else to do it. Those sort of people see danger everywhere. Work with them and educate them all will be fine
