6.3(3.3)

6.3(3.3)Check which potentially unsafe working practices present the highest risk to self and others

The most common unsafe working practice is having a drink next to electrical equipment. It can cause serious injury to yourself and others if spilled. As it is one of the most common unsafe practices, there is more chance of a safety risk happening in the office.

If someone is unable to hear the fire alarm (editing suites), this creates a very serious health and safety hazard. 
This means the person will not be alerted that there is a fire and if on their own there will be no one there to alert them either. 

If this does happen, it may be incredibly difficult and dangerous for him or her to evacuate and escape the building and fire. This of course presents a very huge risk to those involved.
