Free First Aid Posters FAQs
First aid posters should be clearly displayed at eye-level in easily accessible locations, such as:
staff rooms
near first aid kits
break areas
dining rooms
reception areas
high-traffic workplace spaces
high-risk areas near specific hazards
For multi-floor workplaces, first aid posters should be placed on every level.
The goal is to make emergency guidance easy to find when it's needed most, supporting good workplace safety practice and ensuring compliance with HSE regulations.
Instructional first aid posters are not a legal requirement in the UK. However, it is a legal requirement for employers to provide clear guidance to staff about first aid arrangements, including the locations of first aid equipment and the names of trained first aiders (those who have completed a First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work course).
First aid posters can be a practical and simple way to help meet this responsibility by making emergency guidance and safety information more visible and easier to access in the workplace. It’s important to note that first aid safety posters are not an alternative to first aid training, but should be used alongside first aid training as identified in your workplace risk assessment.
A first aid at work poster should include simple, clear instructions for responding to common workplace emergencies, such as CPR steps, choking response and burns. The information should be easy to read, use straightforward language and be supported by visual guidance.
First aid posters from First Aid Safety are designed to support workplace safety awareness and help reinforce first aid training.
Yes. Our posters are designed as printable resources. You can download the PDF file and print it using a standard home or office printer. For maximum visibility, use A4 or A3 paper and display the first aid poster in an easily accessible location at eye level..
There is no formal requirement for instructional first aid posters to be approved by the HSE. However, you should ensure that first aid posters follow recognised health and safety guidance and first aid best practice, as First Aid Safety’s posters do.
It’s important to note that all UK employers are legally required to display the official HSE-approved Health and Safety Law Poster, or provide employees with the equivalent leaflet, according to the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations 1989.
First aid posters should be reviewed annually to ensure the information remains accurate and aligned with current safety guidance. For first aid posters displaying the location of first aid equipment or the names of trained first aiders, these should be reviewed more regularly and updated immediately if any information changes.
