A detailed indoor COSHH reference poster covering risk assessment, precautionary and control measures, exposure monitoring, health surveillance, training and emergency arrangements. A practical choice where you want staff to be able to revisit key hazardous-substance guidance in one place.
COSHH Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Poster is an indoor reference for workplaces using hazardous substances. It brings risk assessment, controls, exposure monitoring, training and emergency guidance together so staff can revisit key COSHH steps where they work.
Where to Install
Position the poster on an indoor wall where people who use, handle or manage hazardous substances can stop and read it comfortably. A staff information area close to relevant work activities is more useful than a distant corridor or general entrance because the guidance is available when COSHH procedures are being considered. Keep the full poster unobstructed and within a natural line of sight.
Viewing Distance
This is a detailed reference poster rather than a simple safety symbol, so users need to be close enough to read the smaller explanatory text. The ranges below are practical positioning guidance rather than certified viewing-distance specifications.
| Size option | Practical reading distance | Selection guidance |
|---|---|---|
| H 594 × W 420 mm | Approximately 1–2 metres / 3–7 feet | Choose where staff can approach the wall and use the poster as a close-reference resource. |
| H 841 × W 594 mm | Approximately 1.5–3 metres / 5–10 feet | Choose where you want greater visual presence across a larger staff area, while allowing users to move closer for detailed text. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Displayed where people can readily consult it, the poster should make important COSHH topics easier to revisit during day-to-day work, briefings and safety discussions.
✅ Staff can identify the main COSHH subjects they need to consider before or during relevant work.
✅ Supervisors gain a shared visual reference for discussing controls, exposure and emergency arrangements.
✅ Regular visibility reinforces hazardous-substance awareness without relying on people remembering every point unaided.

Installation Guidance
Avoid poor COSHH reference points
❌ Do not position it behind doors, equipment or stored materials that obscure part of the guidance.
❌ Do not mount it where staff cannot comfortably stop and read the detailed text.
❌ Avoid a position where strong glare on the gloss surface makes sections difficult to read.
Know what the poster cannot replace
❌ Do not treat the poster as a substitute for substance-specific safety information or risk assessment.
❌ Do not rely on it alone instead of suitable controls, instruction, training or emergency arrangements.
❌ Do not select it for an outdoor display point because the confirmed display area is indoors.
Make the reference easy to use
✅ Mount it at a comfortable reading position with a clear approach and unobstructed sightline.
✅ Keep the poster adequately lit and separate it from excessive competing information.
✅ Use a secure wall-mount method suitable for your surface and remember that fixings are purchased separately.
Frequently asked questions
What is the COSHH Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Poster used for? It provides a single visual reference covering key COSHH subjects including risk assessment, precautions, control measures, exposure monitoring, health surveillance, information and training, and emergency arrangements.
Which poster size should I choose? Choose H 594 × W 420 mm where people will normally approach the poster closely. Choose H 841 × W 594 mm where you have more wall space or want the information to have greater visual presence before users move closer to read the detail.
