Health and Safety During the Rehearsal Process
The possible health and safety issues with the equipment we are using are that many if the electrical equipment is broken in the school and many wires may be breaking which can come very unsafe especially as we are not using our own equipment for most of it. Also many of the equipment is very heavy for example the amps way a tone and if one of them landed on you it could d0 some real damage. Another thing that you must be aware of when using the musical equipment is the leads as when using a lot of different equipment you have to connect them with lots of leads and sometimes these leads may become tangled. This could mean that someone could get caught in them or trip over them and hurt themselves. With the speakers and all the sound equipment you must looks out for how load they are on because if they are on too load you could burst someones ear drum. Finally with some many people in the room it could become a bit claustrophobic and also it could get a bit too full and some one may get hurt as the could fall over someone or ever fall into something trying to move around.
I can ensure that myself and others are safe during the rehearsal process by making sure that all the leads are tidy and i can use the most safe leads that are the most unbroken and use as few leads as i possibly can and also tidy them away so no one can trip over them. Also i am going to make sure that we use the biggest room we can as then it will not get full and there will be no chance that anyone will become claustrophobic or fall over anyone while in the room. Finally when carrying the heavy amps or instruments im going to make sure that the person is able to cary it and if not im going to make sure that more than one person is holding it and there is no possibility of anyone getting injured.
If we are more safe when in our group it allows us to have a much more enjoyable experience as you do not have to worry about calling over or being in a small space you can just play music and enjoy yourself.
