ICT Related Health and Safety Policies

[plexer]

Does anyone have a set of health and safety policies regarding the use of ict in their school?

 

There is the published info about whiteboards and projectors.

 

For staff the normal health and safety regarding using computers is relevant even if it isn't for students.

 

Anything else?

I think you're probably reinventing the wheel to try and write your own policies - BECTA have some words on whiteboards, etc and DWP/HSE cover general use of computers. Personally, I'd just use those.

 

Although students aren't covered by the same laws as staff, we tend to apply those laws anyway. We have a moral responsibility even if we don't have a legal one.

Hi Nick,

 

Sounds fine to me I wasn't planning on writing them from scratch any way.

 

I'd seen stuff on Becta just wondering what everyone else was doing.

 

Cheers,
