CCTV cameras should be in effect
and have viewable footage to
clearly see how the event took
place.
Make sure to unplug wires when
the camera is not in use this will
reduce the chance of people
tripping and falling.
Do not operate the equipment
around water and make sure wires
are covered safely.
Only show equipment when
using it and make sure not to
go to areas away from the eyes
of the public.
Wear sensible shoes and
always take care when walking
especially when carrying
equipment.
Avoid touching damaged
equipment and eating or
drinking around the equipment
whilst using it.
