New H&S Law Poster
Wed 5th Aug 2009
he Health & Safety Executive (HSE) is warning businesses across Britain not to be duped into buying unnecessary and overpriced copies of its health & safety law poster.
The poster is a fixture of every workplace in Britain and employers have a legal duty to display the poster in a prominent position or provide each worker with a copy of a Law pocket card. Both outline employer and workers responsibilities and where workers can seek advice.
There is some evidence of misleading promotions wrongly claiming that the old poster must be replaced immediately and that the new poster should be displayed on every notice board within the business' premises.
This is incorrect and employers could be led to believe that they are not meeting their legal requirements. Employers can check they have a genuine HSE law poster by checking the unique serially numbered hologram on each poster.
