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.

Additional information

The additional information that employers have to provide in writing 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 accessing:

• the HSE website to see the type of workplaces HSE is responsible for and those where local authorities have responsibility.
• Should HSE be the enforcing authority, addresses for HSE local offices are available on the HSE website.
• Visit Gov.uk  for a list of local authorities.
