The COSHH Do You Know All You Need To Know Poster gives staff a quick reference to toxic, corrosive, harmful and irritant substances and their safety precautions. Display it indoors where hazardous substances are handled or discussed to reinforce training and safer day-to-day decisions.
Where to Install
Position this poster indoors where people who use, handle or work near hazardous substances can stop and read it properly. Useful positions include chemical handling areas, cleaning stores, laboratories, workshops, maintenance areas and staff training points. Choose a clear wall position before or beside the working area rather than somewhere staff only see after they have started the task.
Viewing Distance
This is a detailed information poster rather than a simple symbol-only warning sign, so reading the smaller precautionary text is more important than merely recognising the poster from across a room. The distance below is practical positioning guidance, not a certified viewing-distance specification.
| Poster size | Practical reading position | Positioning guidance |
|---|---|---|
| H 600 x W 420 mm | Approximately 1–2 m (3–6½ ft) for detailed reading | Install where staff can approach the poster and read the smaller explanatory and precautionary text without obstruction. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation

✅ Earlier recognition of the toxic, corrosive, harmful and irritant classifications illustrated on the poster.

Frequently asked questions
What is the COSHH Do You Know All You Need To Know Poster designed to explain? It provides a workplace reference covering toxic, corrosive, harmful and irritant classifications, together with their meanings and associated safety precautions.
Does this poster cover every hazardous-substance pictogram? No. This particular poster concentrates on four classifications. If your workplace uses substances carrying other GB CLP pictograms, you should ensure staff also receive the relevant hazard information for those substances.
Where is this COSHH poster most useful? Display it indoors where staff handle hazardous substances, receive instruction or are likely to need a convenient reminder, such as chemical-use, cleaning, maintenance, laboratory or training areas.
Can the poster replace a COSHH assessment or safety data sheet? No. It is an awareness and reference aid. Your COSHH arrangements still need to address the substances and activities actually present, including appropriate controls, information, instruction and training.
How should I choose the mounting position? Select an unobstructed, well-lit wall where the detailed text can be approached and read comfortably. Avoid placing it high above equipment or behind stored materials where only the heading can be seen.
