I have always displayed a copy of the companies EL insurance document on the H & S board, however I have heard a rumour that this is now not a requirement.

What do other businesses' do, can anyone confirm if the rumour is true?

Thanks

An electronic copy is now acceptable.

We have both - an e-version on the intranet and a copy on the H&S notice board as some staff do not have access to the intranet.
My understanding without following the link provided by LB is that it has to be 'availalble' for all staff how you do that is up to you - intranet or hard copy either is fine as long as all can access it.

I believe from reseach (can't remember where I saw it though) that an EL insurance certificate must be readily available to anyone who may need or request to see it. That could be on a PC in an accessible drawer etc. However in practice is it difficult to display it on a visible notice board?
