The document outlines several health and safety concerns that may arise during a media studies project and proposes ways to address each issue. It identifies potential problems such as equipment overheating, tripping over wires, noise levels hurting ears, and blocked corridors or doorways. For each issue, it recommends securing equipment and wires, providing breaks and ventilation to prevent overheating, supplying earplugs, and being aware of fire safety procedures and not blocking passageways. Maintaining an organized workspace and considering the well-being of all those involved are emphasized.

If people have sensitive ears I will give them a pair of ear plugs to put in so that the sound does not fully go into there ears Make sure that all mic stands are taped to the floor Corridors Equipment in the corridors The corridors becoming crowded Fire Make sure that none of our equipment is out in the corridors and does not get in the way of anyone. If we need to get out and the corridors are full of students I will make sure we all wait and go last so we do not get in the way of usual proceedings. I will make sure that all people that are helping me make the video understand what to do in the event of a fire Doorways If doorways become crowded people getting hurt in the doorway Fire If the doorways look like they are about to become crowed I will make sure that all the people involved wait till it is clear and then go as we do not want to get in the way of usual proceedings, as it is very kind of them to lend it out to us.
