HSE consultation on safety posters

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is consulting on proposals to amend the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations 1989 (HSIER). The changes would allow the HSE to approve and publish new posters and leaflets which do not require the addition or updating of information by businesses displaying them. It would also permit employers to continue to display their existing posters or give out existing leaflets, providing they are readable and provide up-to-date information on contacting the enforcing authority and the Employment Medical Advisory Service. Responses have to be in by 11 August 2008.
