The University is required to display copies of the revised statutory ‘Health and Safety Law' poster at prominent locations throughout the University's buildings, or provide employees with a Health and Safety Law leaflet produced by the HSE. Poster distributionThe purchase of a copy of the poster for each and every University building is not a cost-effective approach. However, in order to comply with this legal requirement the Health, Safety and Wellbeing Department have purchased a number of posters and these are displayed in suitably prominent locations, which are accessible to University employees.HSE Law Poster webpageContent of poster Image The poster includes two sections for contact information. One section allows for the names and contact details of local health and safety representatives, i.e., local Health and Safety Co-ordinator/Adviser and trade union-appointed safety representatives. These contact details can be accessed via Trade Union Safety Representatives and Health and Safety Co-ordinator/Adviser.The other section allows for the names and contact details of other health and safety contacts, i.e., the corporate Health, Safety and Wellbeing Department.Trade Union Safety Representatives on University Health, Safety and Wellbeing CommitteeLaw leafletThe leaflet that employers can give to workers, instead of displaying the poster, is now in the form of a pocket card.
