We wanted to move a projector & interactive board from one room to

there. However the new location doesn't have a spur for the projector
coming from the mains. Would it be acceptable to put an extension lead
in trunking coming from the projector back to a normal socket on the
wall? Could the audio/VGA leads be included in this same trunking or
should separate trunking be used for that?

If you like working elsewhere.

Well I suppose you could be in a merciful LEA and they substitute
castration for sacking. )


If not then ring the proper department to arrange for an assessment to
be done and the work carried out and then examined and signed off.

That was what we were trying to avoid!

Remember you are in a zero-tolerence zone, particularly if in a
primary. It's all inspection/certificates so blame can be passed on
and on. All hail the rules and avoid being sued at all costs.

Is there a problem with a caretaker carrying out work on-site that
doesn't involve any proper electrical work? Would the extension back to
the socket not suffice?

If the caretaker has the appropriate electrical qualifications and is
approved to do the work.

Depends which LEA you are in. Here trailing leads, are out. Covering
them compounds it because you introduce trip hazards into the
equation. You really have no choice in following the laid down path
and apply for a solution to the problem down the proper channels.

If the bod comes and says "use a plug bar", then you are ok.
