Controlled documents, like a COSHH Safety Data Sheet, connect directly to the records they support, instead of sitting in a generic file drop.
Platform
Document Management
Controlled document lifecycle and version governance, distinct from freeform file storage.
Available
Overview
SafetyOps' Document Centre manages controlled documents and their versions — a governed lifecycle, not a generic file drop.
Why it matters
A policy document with no version history is a liability in an audit — you need to prove which version was live on a given date.
Benefits
Version governance
Controlled documents keep their full version history.
SDS linkage
COSHH Safety Data Sheets connect through the same Document Centre.
Workflow
- Upload or create a controlled document.
- New versions are added, never overwriting the historical record.
- Documents link to the records they support (e.g. a COSHH Safety Data Sheet).
Interface
A dedicated interface for this module already exists in the SafetyOps application.
Frequently asked questions
Does uploading a new version delete the old one?
No — controlled document versions are never overwritten, matching SafetyOps' broader historical-integrity discipline.
