  • Check That You’re Not Buying a Fake Health and Safety Law Poster

    Created: 2/22/2023, Updated: 2/22/2023

    Only the Health and Safety Executive (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 Health and Safety Law Poster, or provide each worker with a copy of the equivalent leaflet. You must display the poster where your workers can easily read it. You can’t print a copy yourself.


    HSE is aware of suppliers selling fake versions online that haven’t been approved.

    How to check if a Law Poster is genuine before you buy


    The current version of the Law Poster includes enhanced security features and is more durable.

    Read the guidance on how to identify a genuine Law Poster. Features on a genuine approved poster include:

    • An image flip hologram
    • Optical variable ink
    • Embossed roundel
    • Rounded corners
    • Printed on recyclable material.

    You can order the HSE approved versions of the poster from The Stationery Office (TSO), HSE’s Official Publishing Partner.

    You can buy from other official suppliers, but if you have any doubts and need to check if your purchase is a legitimate version, please e-mail: [email protected]
