![]() ![]() ![]() The 2009 poster does still have optional boxes where details of any worker health and safety representatives and other health and safety contacts can be added. Unlike the 1999 poster and leaflet, the 2009 poster and leaflet do not require the employer to provide further information in writing, either on the poster or with the leaflet, giving workers the name and address of the enforcing authority and Employment Medical Advisory Service (EMAS). Each copy of the 2009 poster incorporates a unique, serially numbered hologram in the bottom right corner. For a list of prices for the health and safety law poster and associated products please see the full range of law poster products. ![]() Please note that from 1 October 2011 HSE removed the telephone number to its Infoline service (Infoline closed on 30 September 2011) and the Incident Contact Centre will only be available for reporting major injuries and fatalities. The 2009 poster and leaflet set out in simple terms, using numbered lists of basic points, what employers and workers must do, as well as showing what to do if there is a problem. The 2009 poster and leaflet also reflect changes in the law to reduce the administrative cost to employers of having to provide additional written information on the poster or with the leaflet, and having to keep this information up to date. Research showed that the 1999 versions of the law poster and law leaflet were visually unappealing and rarely read. Employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations (HSIER) to display the approved poster in a prominent position in each workplace or to provide each worker with a copy of the approved leaflet (available as a free download in alternative formats) that outlines British health and safety law. ![]()
