You can print, share and pin them up as often as you like, and fill in the blanks by hand. The posters are general guidance: check them against your own site rules and procedures, especially the safety posters, before you put them up.
No. They are reminders of good general practice. Your site's risk assessments, written procedures (for example each machine's lockout procedure) and local regulations always come first.
