What is your policy on Nerf Guns being used at work?

Angela

If you were asked to consider the use of Nerf Guns at work, what would be your response to this request?

The IT sector and new start-ups are facing this phenomenon.

How would you communicate a well-balanced view of the potential risks to the individual and the business?

  • As I was hit in the eye with one of the projectiles at a family summer party last year, I can confirm that it hurt a lot but luckily there was no lasting damage. My response to such a request would be emphatically NO. Horseplay where people may be injured has no place at work and Nerf Guns are for children. And children should learn early (as my grandson did) that you never point a weapon at someone unless you intend to hurt them and are prepared to accept the consequences.
