Construction Safety File Compilation and Site Compliance Documentation

No contractor moves onto a site without an accepted safety file, and incomplete files delay projects and expose companies to liability. This course teaches the practical compilation of a construction safety file and the compliance documents a site must keep current. It is a hands on workshop on assembling, updating and auditing the paperwork that clients and inspectors demand.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the purpose and structure of a construction safety file.
  • Compile the required legal appointments and mandates.
  • Assemble risk assessments and safe work procedures.
  • Maintain registers, inspections and induction records.
  • Align contractor and subcontractor files on one site.
  • Audit a safety file and close out gaps before inspection.
