| When
a Company Upgrades or changes it's IT systems, one thing you
can be sure about, is that the staff will want one of the "old
ones" . At
first, the thought of providing computer systems to staff sounds
like a great idea. Then the reality of administration, data
security, software licenses, and the cost of support becomes
all too apparent. The hidden costs add up to hundreds of pounds.

| A
closer look at the issue, will however highlight far
more significant issues, Liability. Firstly there
is the issue of product liability. Can you be sure
of the electrical safety of each item, its cables,
and peripherals? Does your company insurance cover
you for the sales of used electrical equipment? Is
the equipment compliant, and does it meet fitness
for purpose? The next major issue is Employers liability. |

Employers
Liability |
| |
As
an employer, you are responsible for all aspects of
the health and safety of your employees. Should you
sell or donate a computer to an employee, you are
still responsible for the equipment you have sold
or even given to them. So, should an employee hurt
their back lifting a VDU out of their car, or worst
still, electrocute themselves, you are potentially
responsible. You cannot indemnify yourself from employers
liabilities. |
