Accident Reporting Workplace Posters provide an illustrated indoor reference covering accident recording, the accident book and RIDDOR reporting. Use them where employees and managers can readily consult the guidance when an incident occurs.
Accident Reporting Workplace Posters give staff an indoor visual reference for recording workplace accidents, using the accident book and understanding RIDDOR reporting responsibilities. The illustrated layout keeps key reporting steps visible where employees and managers can consult them.
Where to Install
Position the poster on an indoor wall where employees and managers can stop and read it rather than simply pass it. Staff information areas, first aid points, incident-reporting locations, training rooms and shared work areas are sensible choices. Keep the complete poster visible, well lit and close enough for the detailed text and illustrations to be read comfortably.
Viewing Distance
Viewing distance for a detailed information poster depends on the actual letter height rather than the overall poster dimensions. HSE guidance gives reference ranges of approximately 0.5–0.9 m (1.6–3.0 ft) for 5 mm lettering, 0.9–1.8 m (3.0–5.9 ft) for 9 mm lettering, 1.8–3.6 m (5.9–11.8 ft) for 18 mm lettering and 3.6–6 m (11.8–19.7 ft) for 30 mm lettering. As this poster uses several text sizes and the exact character heights are not confirmed, these figures should not be treated as certified viewing distances for either size.
| Selected size | Practical placement | Reading guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 594 x 420 mm | Suitable where staff can approach the display directly and stop to consult it. | Choose for closer-range reference where wall space is more limited. |
| 841 x 594 mm | Useful on larger walls or shared staff areas where greater overall prominence is helpful. | The larger format makes the display easier to locate, although the detailed wording should still be read at an appropriate close distance. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
A well-positioned poster should make your accident-reporting arrangements easier for staff to recognise and revisit, particularly when they need a reminder after an incident.
✅ Staff have a visible reminder that workplace accidents need to be recorded and followed through the appropriate reporting process.
✅ Employees and managers can more readily distinguish accident-book recording from incidents that may require RIDDOR consideration.
✅ A shared reference point reduces uncertainty about the information, responsibilities and reporting steps associated with workplace accidents.

Frequently asked questions
Are Accident Reporting Workplace Posters a replacement for an accident book or your RIDDOR procedure? No. The poster is a reference aid and should support, rather than replace, your accident-recording system, reporting responsibilities and current procedures.Which poster size should I choose? Choose 594 x 420 mm where people can approach the display easily and wall space is limited. The 841 x 594 mm option is better where you want the information to have greater overall prominence on a larger wall.
Where should the accident reporting poster be positioned? Place it where staff can stop and consult the information, such as near a first aid point, staff information area or established incident-reporting location. Avoid positions where the detailed wording can only be seen while walking past.
Who should use the information on the poster? It can help employees and managers understand accident recording and reporting principles. Where an incident is reportable under RIDDOR, the formal report must be made by the appropriate responsible person.
Can this poster be displayed outdoors? The confirmed display area is indoors, so it should not be selected on the assumption that it is suitable for outdoor exposure.
