A landscape Health and Safety at Work guidance poster that brings important workplace safety subjects together in one visual reference for staff. Choose A1 or A2 for indoor display, with a write-on section for recording where your company’s health and safety policy can be found.
The Health and Safety at Work Guide Poster is an indoor reference for staff areas, training points and shared workplace spaces. It combines key safety topics, regulatory guidance, photographs and graphics so workers can quickly revisit important responsibilities and workplace precautions.
Where to Install
Position this poster in a well-lit indoor location where employees can stop and read the individual guidance panels without blocking a walkway. Staff rooms, welfare areas, training rooms, safety information points and shared workplace corridors are practical choices. Avoid relying on it at a fast-moving hazard point because the detailed content is intended to be read rather than recognised at a glance.
Viewing Distance
This is a detailed information poster rather than a simple symbol sign, so the useful distance is governed by how comfortably the smaller text can be read. The ranges below are practical positioning guidance, not certified safety-sign viewing distances; employees should be able to approach the poster for close reading.
| Selected size | Practical viewing/approach range | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| A2 – 594 × 420 mm | Approx. 0.5–1.5 m (1.6–4.9 ft) | Close-reading positions where staff can walk up to the poster and examine the individual panels. |
| A1 – 841 × 594 mm | Approx. 1–3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) | Larger shared areas where the poster needs greater presence, while detailed wording is still read from closer range. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation

✅ Key workplace safety topics can be recognised and revisited more easily during the working day.

Installation Guidance
Reading-position mistakes
❌ Do not position the poster where employees have to stand in a doorway, active route or busy working space to read it.
❌ Avoid mounting it behind equipment, furniture or stored materials that obscure the lower guidance panels.
❌ Do not choose a poorly lit position where the detailed wording and photographs become difficult to examine.
What this guide cannot replace
❌ Do not use the poster as a substitute for task-specific instructions, risk assessments or employee training.
❌ Do not treat it as a replacement for the official HSE Health and Safety Law poster or equivalent employee leaflet.
❌ Do not rely on a general guidance poster where a specific hazard requires dedicated controls or safety communication.
Keep the guide useful
✅ Mount it where staff naturally pause and have enough space to read the individual sections.
✅ Keep the complete poster visible and select fixings suitable for the mounting surface; fixings and poster tabs are sold separately.
✅ Complete and maintain the company policy information so employees are directed to the correct local safety documentation.
