Typical hazards & measures
- Electrical and AV equipment use — PAT test all laptops, projectors, and microphones annually. Provide surge protection and cable management, and train staff to set up safely. Unplug unused kit, avoid daisy-chaining, and inspect for overheating or frayed wires.
- Manual handling of training materials — Train staff to lift with bent knees, use trolleys, and break loads into smaller boxes. Store heavy binders or IT equipment at waist height, and avoid lone handling of bulky furniture. Include manual handling in induction training.
- Cyber security and learner data — Use encrypted storage, MFA, and GDPR-compliant systems for enrolment records. Lock screens when unattended, shred sensitive printouts, and train staff on phishing scams quarterly. Audit systems annually.
- Display screen equipment (DSE) and workstation ergonomics — Provide adjustable chairs, monitor arms, and split keyboards. Train staff to set up desks, take micro-breaks, and alternate tasks. Offer eye tests, ergonomics assessments, and adjustable sit-stand options for long training preparation periods.
- Marketing materials and heavy print supplies — Store large roll-up banners, boxes of leaflets, and stands safely at waist height. Use trolleys for event kits, maintain an inventory, and schedule deliveries during quiet periods to avoid injuries in reception areas.
