Red, yellow and green Smileys

The Smileys are published on the Working Environment Authority’s website and allow the general public to see how an enterprise is doing in terms of health and safety.
 
There are three Smileys in the health and safety field: 
  • A green Smiley indicates that the enterprise has no issues with the Working Environment Authority.
  • A yellow Smiley indicates that the enterprise has received a notice with a time limit or an immediate improvement notice.
  • A red Smiley indicates that the enterprise has received an improvement notice or a prohibition notice.

Enterprises that were screened before 1 April 2007 have a screening symbol on the Working Environment Authority’s website. These enterprises may ask the Working Environment Authority for a new screening with a view to getting a green Smiley.
 
A Smiley with a crown indicates that the enterprise holds a recognised health and safety certificate. This means that the enterprise has made an extraordinary effort to ensure a high level of health and safety.
