Precautions

Business owners can reduce these dangers by using overhead projectors per manufacturer safety rules. For example, if you have a child who spends time with you at your business, don t allow her to play or stand near the projector at any time whether it s in use or not. Position the projector close to an electrical socket, or use bright yellow or red reflective tape to alert others of the cord s position. Additionally, move seats away from the projector. If your mouth or throat gets dry when speaking, place a drink several feet from the projector, excuse yourself during the presentation and walk a couple of steps to your drink when you need it.
