Health and safety poster
It is a legal requirement to provide health and safety information to staff.
This is usually done by displaying a Health and safety poster (EW) prominently in the workplace.
Alternatively, a leaflet can be given to all workers.
The poster or leaflet must include:
- The name of a workers' representative (if there is one)
- The name of a management representative
- Contact details of the enforcing authority (this will be either the HSE (or HSENI in Northern Ireland) or the environmental health department of the local authority/council of the business).
A Health and safety poster (NI) is available for businesses in Northern Ireland.
