About these posters

These four free printable posters give general COSHH awareness: five habits for handling chemicals, a do and avoid list, plain-English key terms such as hazard, risk and safety data sheet, and a simple spill response with a write-in box for your own contacts. They suit workshops, cleaning teams, labs, garages and facilities teams. They are reminders to sit alongside your own assessments and training. Download A4 or A3 PDFs, or the whole set as a ZIP.

Questions

Does this meet COSHH requirements?

These posters are awareness reminders only. They do not replace your own assessments, safety data sheets, training or procedures. Check the HSE website for guidance on your workplace.

Where do I find a safety data sheet?

Your supplier provides one for each hazardous product, often on their website or on request. Keep copies where staff can reach them.

Do the posters show hazard symbols?

No. We have not copied official hazard pictograms. Use the labels on your products and your own signage alongside these posters.

Can I add our own spill procedure?

Yes. Write contacts into the box on the spill poster and keep your full procedure next to it.
