Free Workplace Posters Reminder

You can get required workers’ compensation notices on the DWC website. Non-subscribers should download and post Notice 5, subscribers need to use Notice 6, and self-insured companies need Notice 7. All notices are available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Also, you need to post Notice 8 if you perform building or construction projects for governmental entities, and Notice 9 for law enforcement, fire fighters, emergency medical services, paramedics, and correctional officers.

The Texas Workforce Commission has a list of other required and optional posters for Texas workplaces.
