Like any business, your campsite must comply with employment and health and safety regulations. This includes visibly displaying mandatory notices for all employees. Below is a summary of key information that should be clearly posted on-site.
| Type of Information | Content | UK Legal Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Health & Safety Poster | The official Health and Safety Executive (HSE) “Health and Safety Law” poster or equivalent leaflet must be displayed in a prominent location. | Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations 1989 |
| Employer’s Liability Insurance | Certificate of insurance must be displayed and accessible to employees (physical or digital). | Employers’ Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 |
| Fire Safety Instructions | Emergency exit routes, fire extinguisher locations, and evacuation responsibilities should be clearly marked, using ISO 7010 signage. | Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 |
| First Aid Arrangements | Name and location of appointed first aiders and location of first aid kits. | Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 |
| Working Hours & Breaks | Clearly state the working hours, rest breaks, and weekly rest entitlements for staff. | Working Time Regulations 1998 |
| Anti-Discrimination Policy | Information about employee rights and company policy against discrimination, harassment, and victimisation. | Equality Act 2010 |

Note: If you employ five or more employees, you must also have a written Health & Safety Policy available to all staff. Larger campsites (50+ staff) may have further obligations under collective bargaining or employee consultation laws.
