About the Health & Safety File



The electronic version of the Health and Safety File is designed to alleviate the inherent problems associated with paper based technical documents. Drawings, manufacturer's literature, certificates and other specialist data are all included electronically. The documents once created provide a replica of the paper documents in an easily stored, accessed, and secure format. For ease of use the familiarity, structure and layout of the paper document is retained.

Edocuments provide a coherent document structure which contains all essential information elements, minimising repetitive and duplicate information

  • Building log book (optional)
  • Building Health and Safety File
  • Operating and Maintenance manuals
  • Specialists manuals
  • Record Drawings
