Only HSE can approve a version of the health and safety law poster. If you employ anyone, the law says you must: You must display the poster where your workers can easily read it and you can't print a copy yourself. 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. | HSE has issued a safety alert after an incident where a worker was killed when working underneath a raised, telescopic pop-up toilet. There is a risk of people being crushed in this way because there is a potential danger from: - lowering a raised pop-up toilet during cleaning, maintenance or inspection activity
- intentional or unintentional access to the chamber underneath this type of toilet
The risks of any work on pop-up toilets must be managed by: - designers, manufacturers, suppliers and owners
- anyone providing information for, or carrying out, cleaning, maintenance or inspection

With many seasonal jobs being filled at this time of year, it is important that employers protect the health and safety of gig economy, agency and temporary workers. Our website has guidance to help users and suppliers of agency and temporary workers understand their health and safety responsibilities.
