✅ What is a Safety File?

A Safety File (also called a Contractor Health & Safety File) is a legally required record of all the documents that prove your construction site is safe, compliant, and properly managed.

It includes everything from your risk assessments, method statements, legal appointments, medicals, training records, and emergency plans — all in one organised file.

🚨 Why is it important?

• It’s the law – Required under the Occupational Health & Safety Act and Construction Regulations.

• Protects your business – Proves that you’ve taken all reasonable steps to ensure a safe working environment.

• Prevents site shutdowns – Without an approved Safety File, you can be denied site access or have your work stopped immediately.

• Shields you from liability – Helps protect company directors and contractors from criminal charges and penalties if an accident happens.

💡 In simple terms

If you’re a contractor or subcontractor, a Safety File is your ticket to work on site. Without it, you risk:
❌ Project delays
❌ Fines and penalties
❌ Site closure
❌ Legal consequences
