Hi All

We are considering installing a Lego wall in our gallery for a new exhibition on Factory-Made Housing. The designers are keen to go with Lego rather than Duplo because its a more appropriate aesthetic choice but I want to make sure we have risk assessed this exhibit effectively and worried that Lego might present a choking hazard to our younger visitors. The safety measures I have suggested are:

- Wall is at head height of a 6 year old (Lego advised age limit) so that Under 5s cannot reach.

- Safety notice along the lines of ‘please carefully supervise your children whilst playing with this exhibit’.

Does anybody have experience of similar interactive walls with small parts and can advise?

Many thanks

Lettie
