The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is consulting on proposed changes to the approved workplace poster that provides basic health and safety information for employees.

Under the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations 1989, employers must display a copy of the poster or give employees an approved leaflet. But a recent review found the poster was visually "unappealing", employees rarely read it and it was difficult to understand, particularly for people with visual and/or learning difficulties or poor English skills.

IIRSM would like to hear from members regarding these proposals to the workplace poster. Please email your responses to info@iirsm.org
