Printed on fully bio-degradable semi-rigid plastic.

On 6 April 2009, HSE published a new version of its approved health and safety law poster.

Employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations (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. 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.
