Display the health and safety law poster

If you employ anyone, you must display the health and safety law poster, or provide each worker with a copy of the equivalent pocket card. You must display the poster where your workers can easily read it.

The poster outlines British health and safety laws and includes a straightforward list that tells workers what they and their employers need to do. You can also add details of any employee safety representatives or health and safety contacts if you wish to do so.

Stop check!

The new version of the health and safety law poster was published in 2009. If you have a copy of the 1999 version, you can continue to display it or give workers the equivalent leaflet until 5 April 2014, as long as it is readable and contains up-to-date contact details. After this date, you must use the new versions.
