The Hidden Risks of Generic Safety File Templates

📑 Many businesses rely on safety file templates found online.

But in practice, they often:
❌ Miss site-specific risks
❌ Lack valid legal appointments
❌ Contain outdated assessments
❌ Fail to meet OHS Act requirements

A generic file gives a false sense of security — and may leave you legally exposed.
✅ A tailored Health & Safety file ensures true compliance and audit readiness.

👉 Learn how to avoid the most common mistakes:

📍 Hallways & stairwells
📍 Break rooms & communal areas
📍 Reception desks & assembly points

✅ Visible, accessible, and compliant
