Most companies will have a health and safety policy which you will have to make yourself familiar with. Common paperwork relating to health and safety are risk assessments, accident books, questionnaires on basic health and safety and employee information. When starting a new job always make sure you are made aware of the policies and procedures with health and safety. Also make sure you know where the fire exits, fire points and extinguishers are in case of a fire.
