Good Morning, I have recently been appointed as the health and safety officer in a media company. Does anyone have risk assessments for outside broadcasts. I can be contacted by email dale9134@hotmail.com

Get the interviewer to wear a gumshield if he/she interviews Bjork.

I would imagine outside broadcasts woild cover anything from a one to one interview using a sound recorder - to an event such as Glastonbury? Surely you need to at least know about risk assessment otherwise you should not have been appointed to that position?

Seriously if you have just been appointed and you are looking for advice about risk assessment I would think you are not able to complay. I don't mean to say that you lack anything, but your egerness to do the job may exceed youe current knowledge. What level of complication will the job have? How do you get the advise you need? Are you being scape goated? Think carefully before you dive in. As the health and safety officer why not recpmmend that you need to get someone in who can deliver what you need? There is no shame in telling your employer that you as the health and safety manager thinks that expert help is needed, after all that is what your job is about.
