# Working with Safety Documents

The Safety Documents screen displays a list of Safety Documents that have been added to a Request or Scaffold. Safety Documents Templates are configured in the Global Settings, then these templates are added to a Request or Scaffold. The document is then added to the Request or Scaffold, and then signed by the relevant users.
