Health and Safety File

The law behind your File, in plain words.

Every instrument a Health and Safety File draws on: what it covers, who it applies to and what a company typically keeps as evidence. Each one shows where it stands in the Care Net legislation kernel today, read live, so nothing is presented as checked before it has been.

Checked three times, or clearly marked as not yet.

Care Net verifies an instrument against its primary text, corroborates it with an independent source and checks that it is current on the day. Until all three checks are done for the health and safety provisions a File relies on, the instrument is described here in plain words but not cited as the basis for anything.

  • Verified through the kernel's three checks
    Checked against its primary text, corroborated and current, for the health and safety provisions a File relies on.
  • Verified for medical surveillance; awaiting verification for health and safety provisions
    Verified for the medical surveillance duties behind the Medical Surveillance Plan, a separate Care Net product. Its health and safety provisions are still being checked for the File.
  • Candidate, awaiting verification
    Named as a likely basis for File elements. It is not cited until it passes the three checks.
  • Held from citation while a Gazette detail is confirmed
    Care Net holds it back, even where an earlier check passed, until a detail of its publication or amendment is confirmed.

The backgrounds are general guidance, written for a small business owner and being reviewed by Care Net’s Health and Safety Manager. They are not legal advice and do not replace your registered health and safety practitioner. Every example document is fictitious.

Every instrument

What each one covers, and what you keep.
