The cheap file is never the cheap option
Most rejected files fail for the same reasons: generic risk assessments, missing appointments, nothing tied to the client's specification. Then the back-and-forth starts, and your crew waits at the gate.
A template or quick file
- Generic file sent to the client
- Rejected: findings come back
- You rework it, or pay someone to
- Resubmit… and wait again
- Crew and plant standing at the gate
Days lost, and you pay twice.

Quick answers
What is the price of a safety file?
Prices start from R4 850 for a Site Access or company safety file, from R8 750 for a site-specific Project safety file, and from R16 500 for a Principal Contractor file. Fixing a rejected file starts from R2 450. Your final price depends on the scope, the client's specification and how many people go to site, and you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
How fast can I have it?
Within 48 hours of receiving your scope, the client's specification and your company and personnel documents. Larger Principal Contractor files are confirmed with your quote.
What do you need from me?
Your scope of work, the client's H&S specification if issued, your company registration and COID Letter of Good Standing, and who is going to site with their training records.
Why not a cheaper online file?
A cheaper file only saves money if it gets accepted. Mine is written to your scope and your client's specification, and I answer the findings myself. One day of standing time usually costs more than the file.
Do you work outside Gauteng?
Yes. Files are compiled remotely for contractors nationwide.
Can I just buy templates and do it myself?
Yes. The Core Safety File (23 documents with all the legal essentials) is R1 960, and the Complete Template Library (255 templates) is R2 890. Pay securely on Paystack and you are taken straight to your download. You fill in your company, site and risk details yourself. If your client is strict or the file must pass first time, I can build it for you instead.
Need it on site in two days?
Send me the job now. You'll have a fixed price today and your file within 48 hours.
