Health and Safety at Work posters

Apparently these changed in April this year.

I was wondering if anyone has managed to download them as a PDF from somewhere?

If they're not available in this format free of charge from the HSE, then why not?

Hi

Just to let you know these do not have to be changed until either 2012 or 2014 it is just best practice to display now.

As far as I know you have always had to buy the actual poster it is not a free download.

Thanks. Bit of a shame it can't be a free download, since I have the technology to print it.

If I remember rightly there is/was a leaflet that you can download and give to all of your employees. When we had a random visit at the start of last year he asked about the poster, I told him everybody had had a leaflet instead, he was happy with that.

LOL -Its also a shame Porsche charge for their cars as I have the licence to drive one

Seriously, they are only £7.34 inc VAT so by the time you have used paper and inks to print one it is hardly worth bothering. Also, they have introduced holograms to stop piracy on the new ones

Doesn't matter whether it's £7 or £7,000.

Such information should be freely available in the public domain, and a citizen free to choose to print it themselves or not.

Otherwise the cost is yet another tax on employment.

A tiny sum, I know, but principles do matter as our MP's are just finding out.

I know I'm mean with money. I'm renowned for it. It's a great big family joke.

So I was chivvying myself over even wasting five minutes of my time on it. "For heaven's sake, it's only £8 or so ..." (Or nearly £12 from Staples)

But it would have saved me time to have been able to download it as a PDF, and it's a bit of a chore, and we have to have one and ... well, why shouldn't it be available free of charge? I don't understand why it should not. What would it cost the HSE to have it there, when we can download consumer credit licence application forms and what have you?

For me to print it would have been pence. Quite a few pence, but under a squid.
