Health and Safety File builder

Build your File. Drop in what you already hold.

Generate the Health and Safety File for your industry and your sites, then drop your documents into the section and department they belong to. Every document is fingerprinted in your browser and held securely by Care Net. Once My Clinic Online is connected, each one is kept there, where special personal information is protected.

Build my File, one section at a time.

Getting the File builder ready.

Where your documents go

Held securely, then kept with My Clinic Online.

Every document follows the same five steps. You can see each one against every file in the Uploads view of your File. My Clinic Online is not connected yet, so for now documents go no further than step 3 and stay held securely in Care Net’s staging environment. Steps 4 and 5 follow once the connection goes live.

  1. UploadingYour browser works out the document's SHA 256 fingerprint, then sends it straight to Care Net's private staging storage.
  2. UploadedThe document is in staging, checked against the size you sent, and linked to its section, department and element.
  3. Held for My Clinic OnlineThe document waits, encrypted and reachable only by Care Net's servers, until My Clinic Online takes it.
  4. Transferred to My Clinic OnlineMy Clinic Online confirms it received a file with the same fingerprint, and keeps it in its secure environment for special personal information.
  5. Removed from Care Net stagingOnly then is the staging copy deleted. The name, size and fingerprint stay with your File as its audit trail.

A document of the wrong type or over 25 MB is turned away in your browser before anything is sent, with a plain message saying why.

What is in the File

Fifteen sections, nine departments.

Each section has its own drop zone. Choose the department a document belongs to, so the right people in your company can find it: executive and legal, human resources, health and safety, operations, engineering and maintenance, procurement and contractors, occupational health and medical, training and development, and facilities and security.

The element library

Nothing is cited until it has been checked three times.

These are the elements every File carries. An instrument is named only once the Care Net Cognitive Kernel has verified it against its primary text, corroborated it independently and confirmed it is in force. Everything else shows as awaiting verification, and the duty is described in plain words.

File references show only once an instrument has been re verified for its health and safety provisions; until then it is listed under awaiting verification.

Your consent and POPIA

Your documents, handled as special personal information.

What we ask and why

Three separate consents, each in full, before a single document is stored: storage in Care Net's secure staging environment for the single purpose of building your File, transfer to My Clinic Online with the staging copy deleted afterwards, and your confirmation that you may share the documents for your employer.

Documents go to private, encrypted storage that only Care Net's servers can reach. They are never placed where the public can see them, and the File keeps each document's fingerprint so any change can be detected.

What the File does, and what it does not

The File assembles, evidences, flags and reports. It does not decide that a workplace is safe, certify that a person is competent or determine anyone's fitness for work. Care Net screens fitness for work and does not diagnose; a certificate of fitness says fit, fit with a restriction or not fit, and no clinical detail reaches the File.

A registered health and safety practitioner signs the safety content, your section 16(2) appointee accepts the File and your chief executive acknowledges it. A Medical Surveillance Plan, a separate Care Net product signed by the Occupational Medical Practitioner, is filed in Section E as evidence; it is not a sign off of the File. Read the privacy policy.

Questions before you start?

A sales executive can walk you through the File and its sign off. Everything you build here also appears in your portal.
