In the Control Room
Some things that will need to be taken into consideration, health and safety wise, when in the live room would be things like, volume of speakers, electrical hazards, trip hazards as well as food and drink consumption.
- Volume of speakers can be harmful to your health if they are up too loud, this can cause adverse effects on your hearing as well as temporary hearing impairment shortly after using the studio. To avoid this, keep the volume at a reasonable level and monitor the amount of time spend in the control room.
- Electrical hazards are going to be things such as AUX cables, feed cables, speakers, the sound card, desk and mac. When turing on the equipment there is an order of which to do so. First it is the mixing desk then the sound card and finally the Mac and speakers. This is to avoid any loud pops and or faults or damage to the equipment.
- Trip hazards will be things such as cables, wiring, the talk back mic stand and things to that affect. To ensure no one trip over any of the mentioned equipment then its should be secured properly and out of the way. Cables and wires should be placed out of walking zones and as close to the relevant equipment as possible. The talk back mic stand should be off to one side completely out of the way as well as any bags or coats.
- As far as food and drink is concerned it should not be in or consumed in either the live or control room. This is to avoid spillages or drops. Either could cause mess and multiple problems or damage to the equipment in either area of the studio.
In the Live Room
As with the control room there are multiple health and safety considerations to be looked at. Such as volume of instruments, electrical hazards, trip hazards, over crowding and again food and drink consumption.
- Like with the volume of speakers in the control room, the volume of the headphones and instruments can have an adverse affect on your hearing
