Versioning and sharing tools to ensure the availability of files that are always up-to-date and ready for inspections. ![Screenshot of the document archiving functionality](/_astro/documents.DiTZIUcr_OMIXY.webp) Consistent and Ready-to-Use Documents Templates and editors allow you to produce standardized and printable documents, reducing errors in form and content. Reliable Reporting Report editors and customizable templates ensure comparable outputs for inspections, audits, and management decisions. Archive and Traceability Document archive with unlimited capacity, versioning, and history tracking ensures complete and reconstructible evidence over time. Contextual and Accessible Information Automatic association of documents with professional contexts and sharing via App/Agenda to bring information directly to the operator. ## Operational sequence The Information and Documentation process provides a controlled flow to create, associate, and distribute HSE documentation. Customizable templates, report editors, and an integrated text editor standardize content and format; the unlimited archive with versioning and the ability to link every attachment to digital certificates, workers, and professional contexts transform files into structured evidence, ready for DVR, scheduler, and audits. Sharing via App/Agenda ensures that the information reaching the operator is contextual and usable on the move. 1. ### Document Creation and Standardization - Choose and customize templates created specifically for every context: training and fitness certificates, PPE delivery reports, maintenance checklists and reports, lists, personal data records, operational documents, and much more. - Draft documents with the integrated rich text editor (WYSIWYG) that supports formatting, tables, and attachments. - Use the report editor to combine extracted data (resource lists, schedules, actions) into structured, reusable reports. - Prepare export/print in standard formats (.pdf, .docx, .html, .csv) for distribution and storage. - Choose and customize templates created specifically for every context: training and fitness certificates, PPE delivery reports, maintenance checklists and reports, lists, personal data records, operational documents, and much more. - Draft documents with the integrated rich text editor (WYSIWYG) that supports formatting, tables, and attachments. - Use the report editor to combine extracted data (resource lists, schedules, actions) into structured, reusable reports. - Prepare export/print in standard formats (.pdf, .docx, .html, .csv) for distribution and storage. 2. ### Association and Contextualization - Associate each document with professional contexts (job role, work phase, homogeneous group) to make the documentation traceable from the operational context, even remotely thanks to the App. - Link documents to resources, certificates, and preventive actions so that the DVR and scheduler reflect official documentation. - Use approval workflows to manage escalations and maintain audit-proof governance. - Associate each document with professional contexts (job role, work phase, homogeneous group) to make the documentation traceable from the operational context, even remotely thanks to the App. - Link documents to resources, certificates, and preventive actions so that the DVR and scheduler reflect official documentation. - Use approval workflows to manage escalations and maintain audit-proof governance. 3. ### Archiving, Sharing, and Governance - Archive in repositories with unlimited capacity and a customizable file system. - Schedule distribution and sharing via App and make operating instructions available to the operator. - Monitor logs, generate usage reports, and prepare outputs for audits: evidence extraction and tracking are immediate. - Archive in repositories with unlimited capacity and a customizable file system. - Schedule distribution and sharing via App and make operating instructions available to the operator. - Monitor logs, generate usage reports, and prepare outputs for audits: evidence extraction and tracking are immediate. 4. ### Verifiable and Accessible Archive **At the end of the process, you will have an organized document archive, with documentation available, verifiable, and accessible even on the move to support communication, execution, and control. Additionally, the archiving of evidence transforms every element into a verifiable unit for governance and audits. In short: order and standardization reduce variability, increase the reliability of preventive actions, and make the system scalable and defensible during inspections.** **At the end of the process, you will have an organized document archive, with documentation available, verifiable, and accessible even on the move to support communication, execution, and control.

Storage space included in 4HSE plans is unlimited. There are no additional costs tied to the volume of documents uploaded. Can I customize the templates used to print reports and certificates? Yes. Every document generated by the platform (DVR, certificates, PPE delivery reports, and more) starts from an editable template using 4HSE's built-in editor: you can customize one of the standard 4HSE templates or upload your own. The customized template remains available for future prints of the same document type, keeping a consistent format, and can be exported as PDF, HTML5, or Word. Can I share a document with a worker? It depends. If the worker has an account, no sharing is needed: they can view all the documents concerning them directly in the App. Without an account, the document must be shared by downloading it and sending it through traditional means, such as email, print, or other channels. Who can access which documents? Document access in 4HSE is governed by roles and permissions assigned to users: some content is shared with the entire organization, while other content stays restricted to specific users or areas. ![CTA Image](/_astro/demo-request.BINvBpeS_1sSLQV.webp) Start now ## Request a demo Discover how 4HSE works with a guided demo or an informative call with one of our consultants.
