HSE: understand the range before choosing
These are official Health and Safety Executive law poster formats for Great Britain, offered in A2 and A3. If an employer employs anyone, HSE says they must either display the approved poster where workers can easily read it or provide each worker with the equivalent leaflet. The duty is not display-only, and the poster is not a substitute for risk assessment, consultation, training or workplace-specific information.
AutoMotoPart currently lists 2 HSE items. The largest HSE groups are 2 site safety entries. HSE totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact HSE listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.
What the HSE page actually covers
| Product group in this range | Current entries | Selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Site Safety | 2 | Choose genuine A2 or A3 by readable placement, verifying HSE security features; otherwise issue the free equivalent leaflet to each worker. |
Both entries are Site Safety products with identical purpose. A2 and A3 are the only genuine current poster sizes according to HSE Books. The live descriptions' dimensions and material may help identification, but authenticity comes from official security features and source, not size or plastic thickness alone.
Build a reliable shortlist
Decide first whether the organisation will meet the information duty by poster or individual leaflet. If using a poster, survey each workplace location, worker access, language or accessibility needs, lighting, likely obstructions and which genuine size remains legible in the chosen position.
| Check | Why it matters | Useful evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance route | HSE allows approved poster display or equivalent leaflet per worker | Documented organisational decision and worker coverage |
| Jurisdiction | The poster covers British law; other regions may differ | Workplace nation and current regulator guidance |
| Size | A2 and A3 contain the same legal message | Available wall area, viewing distance and readable text |
| Authenticity | Counterfeit or self-printed posters are not the official product | Verified seller, hologram, ink, embossing and material |
| Placement | A genuine poster fails its purpose if workers cannot read it | Prominent accessible lit location and routine inspection |
| Local details | Workers need the correct contacts and representatives | Current named contacts and update responsibility |
Do not buy multiple sizes by default. Map actual workplace locations and workforce access. One properly placed genuine poster may serve workers who can easily read it, while dispersed or remote staff may be better covered by individual leaflets under the approved alternative.
Understand the display-or-leaflet requirement
HSE states that an employer who employs anyone must display the health and safety law poster where workers can easily read it or provide each worker with the equivalent leaflet. The poster explains what employers and workers should do under British health and safety law. It is not correct to say every workplace must display a purchased poster regardless of the leaflet option.
The duty attaches to employers and worker access, not to every empty site, vehicle or customer area. Seek competent advice for complex multi-site, temporary, homeworking or cross-border arrangements. Record how each worker is covered and provide information in an understandable way alongside any accessibility or language support the organisation needs.
A2 and A3 differ in footprint, not content
The live titles distinguish A2 and A3, and HSE Books confirms those are the only official sizes. Choose A2 when the poster will be viewed from further away or a larger notice area supports it. Choose A3 where wall space is tighter but workers can approach and read all sections comfortably.
Before fixing, hold the poster at the proposed point and test normal viewing under actual lighting. Avoid reflective glare, high mounting, locked offices, corridors workers cannot enter, doors that cover it and cluttered boards. Do not trim, fold, laminate over security features or shrink a reproduction. Relocate it when the workforce or premises changes.
Verify a genuine HSE poster
For the 2018 reprint, HSE Books describes optical variable ink on valid that changes colour with viewing angle, an embossed roundel, an image-flip hologram switching between the HSE logo and valid, and 3D HSE surface relief. Rounded corners and recyclable PP5 material provide additional physical checks.
The 2009 version uses a unique serially numbered hologram and remains legally valid; there is no requirement to replace it just because a later reprint exists. Buy through HSE Books or a verified reseller and contact the official order service if authenticity is doubtful. A colour photocopy, download or home printout is not an authorised poster.
Keep contacts and access current
The poster allows the organisation to add details of employee safety representatives or health and safety contacts. Enter only current, legible information using a method that does not obscure official text or security. Assign responsibility for checking names, telephone details and poster condition after staffing changes.
Inspect the display periodically for damage, fading, obstruction or relocation. Confirm that new starters and remote workers know where the poster is or have received the leaflet. If an A3 copy becomes hard to read in a changed environment, move it, use A2 or adopt the leaflet route rather than treating initial purchase as permanent compliance.
The poster is only one information measure
Displaying a genuine poster does not complete the employer's wider duties. Organisations still need suitable risk assessment, safe systems, consultation, training, welfare, first aid, incident arrangements and task-specific information. The law poster supplies a high-level summary, not operating instructions for machinery, chemicals, vehicles or emergencies.
Keep purchase evidence, authenticity checks, display location, contact review and leaflet distribution records proportionate to the organisation. Review current HSE guidance when law or poster status changes. Do not promise that buying A2 or A3 makes a workplace compliant; compliance depends on the information route and all applicable duties in practice.
From identification to a checked result
| Stage | Good practice for this range | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Decide | Choose approved poster display or equivalent leaflet per worker | Assuming purchase and display is the only lawful route |
| Verify | Check source, size, hologram, ink, embossing and poster version | Relying on dimensions or a printed copy alone |
| Place | Mount where all covered workers can easily read it | Using a locked, obstructed, high or glare-heavy location |
| Complete | Add current representatives or contacts without covering content | Leaving obsolete names or obscuring security features |
| Review | Check access, condition, workforce coverage and HSE updates | Treating the poster as complete workplace compliance |
Keep a simple compliance record showing which workplace uses which genuine poster, where it is mounted, who checks it and which workers receive leaflets instead. Update the record after moves, remote-working changes or new locations.
Reading real HSE references
The HSE names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal HSE recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within HSE, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.
| Example listing | What to verify beyond the name |
|---|---|
| Health & Safety Law Poster - A2 | Official A2 poster, genuine 2009 or 2018 security features, verified source, readable larger placement and current contacts |
| Health & Safety Law Poster - A3 | Official A3 poster, same approved content, genuine security features, close readable placement and leaflet alternative coverage |
A2 and A3 are format options, not different laws. The phrase legal requirement in all workplaces is incomplete without the employer, jurisdiction, worker-access and equivalent-leaflet qualification.
Common errors around HSE products
- Claiming every workplace must purchase and display a poster.
- Ignoring the lawful equivalent-leaflet option.
- Printing a downloaded copy and treating it as the official poster.
- Buying a non-A2/A3 reproduction or unverifiable counterfeit.
- Mounting the poster where workers cannot easily read it.
- Replacing a valid 2009 poster solely because a 2018 reprint exists.
- Leaving health and safety contact details obsolete.
- Suggesting poster purchase alone makes the workplace compliant.
