HSE Poster - Health & Safety Law Poster

Official HSE Health & Safety Law Poster

The Health & Safety (HSE) posters are a fixture of every workplace in Britain.

ALL Employers have a legal duty to display the poster in a prominent position to provide employees with information about health and safety laws. The HSE Law poster is easier to read and is much more likely to get noticed in the workplace.

The HSE poster focuses on employees and sets out in simple terms what employers and workers must do to ensure health & Safety in the workplace, including when a problem exists.

HSE has published this new simplified version of the Health and Safety Law Poster. It tells workers what they and their employers need to do in simple terms, using numbered lists of basic points. As an employer, you are required by law to either display the HSE approved poster or to provide each of your workers with the equivalent ‘leaflet’. The law has been changed (6th April 2009) for the new poster you don’t have to add contact details of your enforcing authority and HSE’s Employment Medical Advisory Service. You can add details of any employee safety representatives or other health and safety contacts, but this is not compulsory.

The Health & Safety Executive is giving businesses five years to switch to the new leaflets and posters - they must be replaced by no later than 5 April 2014. Any employers who choose to keep the old poster after 6 April 2009 must make sure it is legible and keep the addresses of the enforcing authority and the employment medical advisory service up to date.
