Risk assesment for laptop trollys

[ozzy]

Morning all, I've just finished setting up our first two mobile suites, and got to thinking do we need to do a risk assesment for the movement around school and use? the things that stick out to me would be running over feet, fingers being jammed agianst door frames, walls ect as well as moving the trolly's while still plugged in to a socket and tipping over (though they are very heavy and you'd have to be realy trying hard to do that) If any of you do could you offer me some advice, Cheers Edited November 25, 2009 by ozzy

Just check the latest advice from the HSE about the electrical safety aspects.

Bare in mind you've got to allow for some idiot trying to take it out doors. Do you have any steep disabled ramps?

 

We have a 32 laptop trolly, and we ended up coming to the conclusion that NO ONE was allowed to move it.

 

How big are the trollies and are you planning to let students move then?

I think this is what james... is referring to.
