Contractors and service providers are often required to submit a health and safety file before they can start work on a site or be considered for a tender. The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 85 of 1993, and its regulations – including the Construction Regulations, 2014 for construction work – place responsibilities on employers and contractors to manage health and safety and keep the related records.
We help you compile, organise and maintain the administrative documentation for your safety file, so it is complete and current when a client asks for it.
What’s included
- Compiling your safety file in a clear, logical structure
- Company documents such as registration details and a Compensation Fund (COIDA) letter of good standing
- Health and safety policies and the required appointment letters
- Templates for risk assessments, safe work procedures and induction records
- Updating the file for new projects, staff changes and expiry dates
Who it’s for
Contractors, subcontractors and service providers in construction, maintenance, cleaning, security and similar industries whose clients require a safety file.
Site-specific risk assessments and safety plans must reflect the actual work and conditions on site and, where required, be signed off by a competent person.
