Moving a projector in a school

I do hope that you've had the appropriate training on PAT testing then!

That was certainly how I arrived at most of my "fail" conclusions for kit back when I did the job.

In article , Robert Moir of snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com, felt we'd be interested in the following...

Define appropriate training? Legislation only requires that the tester be competent.

Our site manager felt I was competent enough to PAT test some TFT monitors, showed me how to do it, what to expect, what to look for, and let me get on with it which I did succesfully.

I was, it seems, appropriately trained.

Indeed.

Indeed.

With no comment on your personal skills or any disrespect intended, this makes a joke of the whole thing doesn't it? My 'training' was a little more structured than that but at the end of the day this whole exercise is less to do with real safety and more to do with people in high places ticking boxes and covering their own asses.

What sort of warning?

It looks like some installer had fitted the projector into a plasterboard ceiling and it fell off during a weekend.

The warning came by a fax from (?) county, I think.

All the projectors at the school I worked at conformed to all safety checks.

They are proposing to install another system in a portacabin. I wonder how they will make that one safe?

Isn't there a better way of stating Portable Appliance Testing testing?

Since this is cross posted to an education group, I am surprised that this poster does not know the difference between an ass and an arse :-)

It's a bit like AC current, IF frequency, etc...

I don't know. Why don't you try saying it out loud with and without the redundancy at the end and then come back and tell us which feels most natural to you. If you have time out of your busy schedule of nit-picking that is.

You missed off "actually do know what they are doing" :)

Very good.
