Rank: Guest		Posted By FJ I have just been asked to expand on the "concern" expressed earlier this week nationally about the safety of "white boards". Anyone help? Thanks

Rank: Guest		Posted By Sally Whilst it may not be an issue that kills many people the possibility of losing sight is a serious health & safety risk, especially to those like me who only have vision in one eye anyway. It is also one which has easily appliable control measures. To suggest it is 'elf & safety' overreacting is a little unfair I think.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Jim Walker Sally, True, but it just goes to show you can never underestimate people. Now call me a silly old sausage but I'd have thought teachers (whom I assume are at least partly educated people)could work out for themselves (dynamic risk assessment!!) that looking into bright lights was not a good idea.
