Employment and Safety posters are required to be posted in a location common to and accessible by all employees. A common location would be installing an employment and safety bulletin board in the employee lunchroom. If there is no lunchroom or lounge, the board should be located in a common area, such as a hallway near the restroom, in the shop or tool room, etc. For remote operations, all posters must be posted on the jobsite, either on a board or in a job shack or trailer where all employees have access. Retaining posters in a notebook in the supervisor’s truck does not strictly meet the test of posting according to the law.
