Media Production Safety

Interactive Notebook Page 18.

TEKS (6A, B, C) Student is expected to implement personal and workplace safety rules and regulations;

follow emergency procedures; and examine and summarize safety-related problems that may result

from working with electrical circuits.


Safety

Should be understood and practiced by

everyone.

Should follow workplace standards.

Assures safe and healthy working conditions.

Protects people (you and others) from injury.


OSHA

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration

“Assure as far as possible every working

man and woman in the nation safe and

healthful working conditions and to preserve

our human resources”


Personal Attire

Should be appropriate for the job you are doing.

Wear shoes that enclose the foot.

Avoid sandals and slip on shoes when operating

equipment that moves or rolls.

Wear low or medium heels, wear slip resistant

shoes.

Pants should not be long enough to cause tripping.

Gloves should be worn for hot, rough, sharp objects

(including lighting).


Using Electricity

Do not use equipment with damaged cords.

Use heavy-duty extension cords.

Never use electrical equipment on a wet surface.

Keep equipment dry.

Do not touch electrical switches or equipment with

wet hands.

Do not over-load electrical circuits.

Other Electrical and Lighting Safety Considerations

• Never plug in more than two lights into one outlet (you could overload an electrical circuit).

• Always wear gloves when touching lighting equipment (even if you don’t think it is hot).

• Always warn your cast and crew when turning on set lighting.


Protecting Your Hearing

If you must shout to be heard from three feet away, the noise is too loud; hearing protection should be used

Decibels

Over 115 decibels over unsafe

Indications of hearing damage

Ringing in the ears

Muffled hearing

Talking too loud

Hearing damage is permanent


Workstations

Keyboard and work surfaces - arms should

form a 90-degree angle.

Top of the monitor - no higher than eye level.

Chairs - comfortable backrest, your feet

should be flat on the floor.

Chairs or stools should never be leaned or

tilted back.


Lifting And Carrying

Size up the load

Lift using your leg muscles – not your back

(don’t bend over)

Think before you lift

Obtain help

Balance the load

Carry less, more times- make several trips


Maintenance

Clean your work area before the end of the

period

Store equipment and materials in approved

locations

Floors must be free of objects and cords that

might cause falls


Fire Safety

Type A fires - combustible materials, paper, cloth, wood

Type B fires – flammable liquids, solvents, oil

Type C fires – electrical equipment or electrical wires

Using the wrong type of extinguisher on the wrong type of fire can be dangerous

PASS method Pull the pin,

Aim low,

Squeeze the handle,

Sweep from side to side


In Case Of An Accident

Immediately report accidents to the teacher

The school nurse should treat injuries


Human Error

The one element common to most accidents

Not applying common sense is the cause of

most accidents!


Where to Get More Information

Operation/instruction and manuals for

equipment used in the individual lab. Most

have a section on safety at the beginning that

covers general information

Safety Test

There will be a safety test over today’s notes.

You must make 100% on the test.

You must re-take the test until you make

100% (for the grade book, each time you

retest you lose 10 points).

You cannot use equipment until you have

passed the safety test.
