Multimedia support and OH & S

Providing Multimedia Support in the 

Library - OH&S

As library workers it is often our role to setup screens, data projecting equipment etc.

As with all multimedia equipment, health and safety principles must be considered when setting up a screen. Portable screens can be large and tricky to handle. Manual handling principles must be practiced when lifting, carrying and setting up. It very may be necessary for two people to be involved in this process. Portable screens have legs which can create a tripping hazard. Always be mindful of the position of the screen in relation to walkways etc.
