    Who is SafetyDocs by SafetyCulture for?

    Australian and New Zealand contractors and small businesses that need prewritten SWMS, procedures or a starter safety management system to adapt themselves. A document is a starting point: the buyer must tailor it and get competent review, and the store's terms exclude liability otherwise. Routing, reminders and records need separate software.

    Worth buying when a drafted SWMS or management system saves writing one and someone competent can tailor and maintain it. Not a substitute for software that routes reports, tracks actions or records worker sign-off.

    Watch for: Each purchase is a single-user, non-transferable licence. Requires Microsoft Word to edit the files. Legislative updates to purchased documents carry an upgrade fee.

    Capabilities and scope

    SafetyDocs by SafetyCulture is an online store for editable safety documents run by SafetyCulture Plus Pty Ltd in Australia. It is not an inspection or incident platform, and it is unrelated to the SafetyDocs event-management app at safetydocs.org. Editable Word documents: SWMS by trade and in packs, SOPs, management plans, a health and safety manual, ISO 45001-aligned OHS systems, quality, environmental and integrated systems, policies, forms and registers.

    SWMS FAQs
    Standard and safe operating procedure templatesDocumented by vendor

    The store lists editable, pre-filled Word SOP templates across equipment, plant, chemical handling, warehousing and other work categories. They are drafting aids: the buyer remains responsible for matching the procedure to the actual task, equipment, competence requirements and local controls.

    2. When an update email arrives, compare it with your tailored copy and decide on the upgrade fee.
    3. Withdraw superseded copies and record worker acknowledgement.

    Proposed check: integrated template pack to controlled local system

    1. Select one integrated HSEQ package and map its policies, procedures, forms and registers to the organisation's actual processes, legal context and responsible owners.
    2. Tailor one site management plan and one SOP, record the competent review and link both to a controlled document register with version and review dates.
    3. Issue the approved copies, test worker access and acknowledgement, then withdraw a superseded copy and retain the change and approval evidence outside the store.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. Send the sample for one SWMS matching a real task and show what we must add for our site.
    2. Confirm how many licences we need when several supervisors edit and issue the same document.
    3. Explain how legislative changes are notified and what the upgrade fee is for documents we own.

    Questions the sources answer

    Can several people in the business use one purchased document?

    The terms grant a single-user, non-transferable licence per product and bar passing products to third parties. Ask the vendor in writing how that applies to several supervisors or sites.

    Are the ISO 45001 systems certified?

    No. They are aligned with AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018; certification needs implementation and an audit by a third-party certification body.

    Can I get a refund if a document does not suit my site?

    Refunds cover major problems, such as a product significantly different from its description. Incorrect choices and changes of mind are not refunded.

    Do the documents work in New Zealand?

    The store sells New Zealand documents and explains how work method statements relate to the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. Check each against your own duties.
