10.2(2.4) Suggest ways of reducing risks to health and safety in a specific Creative Media job role

As I work alongside a production team and multiple editors, there is an incredible amount of machinery throughout our office. 
Along with machines, comes a wire, meaning that this is a hazardous situation in which people may trip over and injure themselves or others around them.
The wiring in our offices is stored away, whether that be kept behind the desk, shelving or under cable covers. Furthermore this blocks the likelihood of a hazard. 

In our offices there is a machine room, with multiple machines sat on top of one another. This is a big hazard however cool air is consistently blown through the room keeping all machines cool.

However, in case of a fire there are multiple signs showing the ‘fire exits’ along with fire extinguishers and an emergency fire alarm and instructions letting you know how to use the particular piece of equipment.
Every Friday the fire alarms are tested to make sure that they are all functioning properly throughout the building. 


Being in an office where the majority of equipment is electrical, there are huge hazards when it comes to handling electrical equipment and the chance of safety risks. To keep possible risks to a minimum, multiple safety precautions are taken when around electricity, for example no liquids around the electricity and knowing when to turn them off and on (if handling the machine).
