About health and safety law poster

As an employer the health and safety executive requires you by law to display its approved health and safety at work poster. This statutory obligation comes under the Health and Safety Information for Employees Act. This act basically sets out employers’ general duties towards their employees and instructs employers to provide information relating to:

• health, safety and welfare
• rights and responsibilities
• how to get further help and advice

Why has the health and safety law poster changed?

A review of the 1999 poster found that employees rarely read the poster and found it unappealing.

Benefits of the new poster

The revised poster presents information using:

• Clear and simple terms
• Numbered lists for important points
• Three clearly marked regulatory sections

Good news for employers…

Original regulation required employers to write contact details for the local health and safety enforcing authority and medical advisor service. Changes to the latest health and safety poster means you will not have to add these details. Standard text on the new poster includes contact details for the health and safety executive and incident contact centre.
