If only 4 people work in an office, but 20 are employed as out workers, does a compamy still need to advertise all relevant H&S documents/posters?

My understanding has always been yes to this sort of issue. It's the Number employed - not where they are employed that is the criteria.

As a responsible employer, you should have an H&S policy for this amount of people and, I think that there should be specific mention of out workers if the majority of your staff are such.
For this many people, it does not need to be big, but it would be clever!

If you employ anyone, you must display HSE’s health and safety law poster. Alternatively, you can give your employees a leaflet called ‘Health and safety law: What you should know’. The poster includes basic health and safety information and lets people know who is responsible for health and safety in your workplace. You must display the poster where your workers can easily read it, and it must be in a readable condition. You must also include some contact details, for example, the details of your local enforcing authority.
It does not matter how may people you employ. If most of your workers are not based in a central location, it may be better to provide those employees with a leaflet so that you can be sure they have received the necessary information.
