麻豆约拍

Safety is everybody's responsibility. We all have a duty to keep ourselves and others safe. This safety guide contains the collected knowledge of staff experienced in managing radio productions and also safety professionals who advise on radio productions and activities.

This safety guide contains a list of some of the common activities undertaken by radio production staff. The controls listed are based on a set of generic risk assessments undertaken by 麻豆约拍 Radio and 麻豆约拍 Safety. It is very important that the controls detailed in these generic risk assessments are implemented (where applicable) and monitored.

The generic risk assessments in this booklet can also be used be as a guide when you are attending recces and/or planning your programme/ activity/ events.

If you are travelling to a hostile environment or undertaking activities in the 麻豆约拍 High Risk Policy (e.g. covert filming, locations with ionising radiation, filming in riots) then you must contact the High Risk team.

Safety App

In areas of the business that issue staff with iPhones, the 麻豆约拍 Safety App can be used:

• to record changes to your risk assessment in a dynamic way.
• during a recce to record issues, hazards and controls which you need to cover in your risk assessment.
