The new health and safety poster supercedes the previous, uncontrolled one, (in the background). It features a hologram and a unique serial number.
The new version is modern, eye-catching and easy to read. It sets out in simple terms, using numbered lists of basic points, what employers and workers must do
and tell you what to do if there is a problem.
Employers can, if they wish, continue to use their existing versions of poster and leaflet until 5 April 2014, as long as they are readable and the addresses of the
enforcing authority and the Employment Medical Advisory Service up to date.
A leaflet that employers can give to workers, instead of displaying the poster, will be in the form of a pocket card that is better suited to the workplace.
These will also be available from 6 April 2009.
