Health and Safety - Does Your Workforce Know What They Need to Know?

As an employer, you are required by law to display the HSE-approved poster or to provide each of your workers with the equivalent leaflet.

The Health & Safety Executive has published a 2018 reprint of the Health and Safety Law Poster.

All employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations to display the poster in a prominent position in each workplace or to provide every worker with a copy of the (free to download) equivalent leaflet – this is also available in hard copy format.

There is no change to the written content in the 2018 reprinted version, and no legal requirement for owners of the current HSE approved Law Poster to replace it with a new one.

The poster tells workers what they and their employers need to do to ensure their health and safety in the workplace. In simple terms, the poster outlines what employers must do, what workers must do and what to do if there are concerns with health and safety in the workplace.

The Health and Safety Law Poster must be prominently displayed as it tells workers what they and their employers need to do in simple terms.
