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?

  • Being "boring" and HR just conduct a risk assessment, mitigate the risks and allow the boys to have fun?

    I am not sure of any documented example of someone being injured in a workplace by a nerf gun incident. I can see the theoretical risks but in reality if we allow 10 year old boys to play with them unsupervised do we really think the risks are huge?

    Would I want to work in such an environment - certainly not. Can I see why some people do - well kind off I guess.
