Do you have MSDSs for the cartridges; do they warn of any adverse effects?

Hi Saan,
Sorry to seem dull but are you talking about a separate policy statement on the use of cartridges? I am not aware that a specific health and safety policy is required for them. Is it not covered in your general H&S Policy that you will comply with relevant legislation i.e. work ewquipment regs and COSSH etc and then have MSDS' to specify the hazards and how to handle them not forgeting the disposal.

Hi no worries I have been asked to write two documents, one on the safe use of a standolone photocopiers, and the other on the inkjet and toner cartridges, I have looked at the book but it is very simple... and i need to write this for a college for both students and staff.. so it needs to be in detail, but dont have an idea about them now i sound dull!!. and was just wondering if anyone knew where i could look, or if anyone would have one themselves. I have cossh sheets risk assessments in place etc..

"I have looked at the book but it is very simple...". Then again Sian, no need to make it complicated. There are lots of 'stand alone' copiers in supermarkets used by members of the public. "Safe Use" can boil down to "follow the instructions given".
I suggest that some decisions are required as to who is authorised to clear paper jams and change cartridges etc. To leave this as a 'free for all' for any student will possibly mean (a) cartidges and toners 'disappear', and (b) the "Out of Order" sign will become very well worn!

Ah seems a bit clearer, am I right in understanding that you need a set of operating instructions that cover the safety precautions required or am I on wrong tangent? If not try and write down eactly what individuals are likely to do by going through all the sinarios of the kit not working like paper jams etc and how they are cleared to changing toner cartridges etc. That should be enough to give you an understanding of the types of injuries someone could sustain and work a soulution and controls from there.
Sorry if I have misunderstood your needs but cann't see why you need individual policy statements.

ID's the hazards.
