If there is a claim now I suspect it will follow the lines of "because they failed to adhere to the HSAWA 1974 my client was injured" What is said on a bit of paper or stated anywhere else on the circuit will not apply as they haven't adhered to the the law of the land.
Otherwise I could just leave a live wire exposed at work, but just make sure there are plenty signs saying you are here at your own risk.
