CHANGES TO THE H&S LAW POSTER

HEALTH & SAFETY WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations 2009 (HSIER) to display the poster in a prominent position in each workplace or provide each worker with a copy of the equivalent leaflet outlining British health and safety laws.

The new poster updates the previous poster, which was published in April 1999. The new leaflet, now in a more convenient format as a pocket card, updates the current leaflet, also published in April 1999.

To help avoid an unnecessary burden on businesses, the HSE Board has set a five-year transition period for replacing the current poster and leaflet.

They must be replaced by the new poster or pocket cards by no later than 5 April 2014.

It is important to note that employers will still be complying with the law if they continue to display the current poster after 6 April 2009. However, where employers do keep the old poster, there will be a continuing duty, over the next five years, to keep the additional written information up to date. The additional information that employers have to provide in writing, either by inserting this in the appropriate boxes on the current poster, or by giving it to workers with the current leaflet is:

The name and address of the enforcing authority; and The address of the office of HSE’s Employment Medical Advisory Service (EMAS) for the premises concerned. These addresses can be obtained by phoning HSE’s Infoline on 0845 345 0055.
