Health and safety legislation and how it applies to the media workplace

Health and safety legislation and how it applies to the media workplace:

• Maintenance of the workplace, equipment, devices and system
• Temperature of the indoor workplace
• Lighting
• Cleanness of the workplace
• That there is an understanding of how much space there is where you’re working
• What obstacles will be in the workplace that can’t be moved
• A place for the staff to take a break for lunch, drink, ECT

How this applies to us as media producers, we should expect these in the workplace as well as work to provide them. These things need to be checked on otherwise there could be a casualty in the workplace or equipment being broken from not having enough room or someone being effected by something that has happened in the room.

This would be important as the producer because the producer would be the one that gets the blame for what has happened because the producer is the one that is meant to make sure that these checks happen to keep the staff and actors in a state that they will want to stay on set and not quit because of bad working environments.
