Describe key elements of health and safety regulations, relevant to working in the Creative Media sector
Within the creative media sector, electrical equipment (computers, phones) are the main way to store information, to communicate, and essentially run the whole industry.
In our office we have a machine room, that holds a lot of electrical equipment and so it can very quickly get hot in there. However due to health and safety reasons, cool air conditioning needs to be continuously blown into the room.
This is due to the risk of the room reaching high temperatures, and potentially causing a fire in the office.
Also in an office you need to use caution when having a drink. A huge hazard is having liquid around electrical equipment, creating the potential risk of electrocution.
Another example is making sure the electrical equipment is completely turned off if you are handling it.
As the creative media sector relies on electricity heavily, safety hazards and risks involving electrical equipment are an everyday thing (if you’re not careful), which is why it’s best to always use some caution when in the office.
