Check that you're not buying a fake health and safety law poster

The Health and Safety Law poster

Only HSE can approve a version of the health and safety law poster.

If you employ anyone, the law says you must display an approved version of the poster, or provide each worker with a copy of the equivalent leaflet.

 

You must display the poster where your workers can easily read it and you can't print a copy yourself.  

 

We are aware of suppliers selling fake versions online that haven't been approved.

 

The current version of the law poster includes enhanced security features and is more durable. Read our guidance on how to identify a genuine law poster.

 

You can order HSE approved versions of the poster

 

You can buy it from other suppliers we work with, but if you have any doubts and need to check if it's a legitimate version, please email HSEorders@tso.co.uk.


Health board fined six-figures after death of patient

NHS Highland has been fined £180,000 after a patient died while being treated at a hospital.


The 78 year-old-man was brought to hospital following a suspected fall at his home and was later admitted to the surgical ward.

 

While in hospital, the patient suffered from three additional falls which led to bleeding on the brain. He passed away from fatal head trauma two days after his final fall.

 

HSE's investigation found that the necessary nursing staff to ensure the 1:1 ratio of care failed to be applied. 

 

Read this press release for more details on the incident.
