# Working with Scaffolds and Safety Documents

Safety Documents can be added to a Scaffold (or Request).

### Adding a Safety Document Template

First, you will need to create, and add the Safety Document template to the Scaffold (or Request).

Please see [Adding a Safety Document template](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/assigning-safety-document-templates) for more information

### Add Default Signing People

Next, you will have to add default signing people. This is so these users will always appear as a signee for the document each time the Safety Document is created.

Please see [Adding Signees to a Safety Document Template](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/adding-signees-to-a-safety-document) for more information.

### Add a Safety Document

The next step is to add the Safety Document to the Scaffold or Request. This is different to adding the template.

Please see [Adding a Safety Document to a Scaffold](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/adding-safety-document-to-a-scaffold) for more information.

### Sign the Safety Document

The next step is to sign the document.

Please see [Signing a Safety Document](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/signing-a-safety-document) for more information.

### Archive the Document

If the Safety Document is complete, or a change needs to be made, you will need to archive the document.

Please see [Archiving a Safety Document](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/archiving-a-safety-document-1) for more information.
