Legal Requirements

If you employ anyone, you must display HSE's health and safety law poster. Or you can give your employees a leaflet called ‘Health and safety law: What you should know

The poster includes basic health and safety information and lets people know who is responsible for health and safety in your workplace. You must display the poster where your workers can easily read it, and it must be in a readable condition. You must also include some contact details, for example of your local enforcing authority.

The poster and leaflet (in packs of 25) are available from HSE Books: www.hsebooks.co.uk; 01787 881 165
