This indoor Asbestos At Work poster uses photographs, illustrations and clearly separated topics to reinforce asbestos risk assessment, protective measures and health-surveillance awareness. Choose the A2 or A1 landscape size according to your wall space and how prominently you need the guidance displayed.
Asbestos At Work Posters are indoor awareness displays for staff, contractors and maintenance teams. Positioned where people can stop and read them, they reinforce asbestos risk assessment, protective measures and health surveillance, supporting safer decisions before work begins.
Where to Install
Position the poster where employees, contractors and maintenance personnel can stop and read it before planning or starting work that could affect the building fabric. Useful locations include maintenance offices, site cabins, workshops, building-services areas and established safety information points. Keep it within a clear sightline rather than placing it beside the work itself, as this is a detailed awareness poster rather than a location-specific asbestos warning.
Viewing Distance
| Selected size | How you should position it | Reading-distance guidance |
|---|---|---|
| A2 – 594 × 420 mm | Use where readers can approach and stand close enough to study the detailed information, such as a dedicated safety point or maintenance area. | Treat as a close-reading display. A fixed distance cannot responsibly be assigned from the overall poster dimensions alone. |
| A1 – 841 × 594 mm | Choose where you need a larger overall display or people approach from farther away, while still allowing them to move closer to read the detailed sections. | Provides greater overall visual presence than A2, but readable distance still depends on the actual letter height and viewing conditions. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
A well-positioned poster gives people a visible reference point for reviewing key asbestos considerations before work rather than relying solely on remembered information.
✅ Earlier recognition that asbestos risks need to be considered before maintenance or building work begins.
✅ Clearer awareness of the relationship between risk assessment, protective measures and appropriate work controls.
✅ Better understanding that asbestos management involves planned procedures rather than reacting only after a suspect material is disturbed.

Installation Guidance
Avoid poor display positions
❌ Do not place the poster behind doors, stored equipment or other information that interrupts the sightline.
❌ Do not position it so far from the normal reading point that the detailed body text cannot be comfortably read.
❌ Avoid crowded wall areas where the asbestos information competes with numerous unrelated displays.
Know what the poster cannot replace
❌ Do not use the poster as the sole method of identifying individual asbestos-containing materials.
❌ Do not treat the display as authorisation for somebody to undertake asbestos work.
❌ Do not rely on it instead of your asbestos register, risk assessment, training, protective measures or site-specific controls.
Make the information usable
✅ Position it in good lighting at a comfortable reading height for the people expected to use it.
✅ Place it where maintenance staff and contractors can encounter the information before relevant work is planned or started.
✅ Keep the complete poster visible and periodically check that damage, new equipment or other displays have not obscured its content.
Frequently asked questions
What are Asbestos At Work Posters designed to help with? They provide an indoor visual reference covering asbestos awareness topics including risk assessment, protective measures, health effects and health surveillance, helping people revisit key considerations before relevant work.Should I choose the A2 or A1 version? Choose A2 where readers can readily approach the display and wall space is more limited. Choose A1 when you want the subject to have greater visual presence or people approach the display from farther away before moving closer to read it.
Where should the poster be positioned? Put it at a location where the people most likely to encounter asbestos-related risks can stop and read it, particularly around maintenance planning, contractor information or established workplace safety points.
Can I use this poster to identify the exact location of asbestos-containing materials? No. It is a general awareness poster and should not replace your site-specific asbestos register, management information or any identification system used for known or presumed asbestos-containing materials.
Can the poster replace asbestos training or my legal procedures? No. Use it as a supporting awareness resource. Current duties are governed by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, and appropriate information, training, risk assessment, management arrangements and work controls remain necessary where applicable. Because the poster contains legal guidance, check the printed wording against your current procedures and HSE information before treating it as a legal reference.
