SOME IMPORTANT SAFETY INFO

We must all try and keep safe, there's a lot of new people exploring electronics for the first time so let’s all key an eye out for each other and anyone bringing electronics in:

Some Golden rules are:

• Don’t mess with anything plugged into the wall going through mains electric  
• If in doubt STOP what you are doing and go and talk to someone, seek advice from an expert
• For everything you do think about what would happen if a 4-year-old got their hands on it
• Make sure no drinks are in open glasses near the electrics
• All tech must be PAT tested or less than a year old
• Tape down all floor cables
• People may rock up with their own kit so if you see anyone doing something with old or dangerous looking kit let us know straight away.
• Only those people/groups who have submitted a Risk Assessment on time will be setting up workshops & events
• There’s loads more to think about so we’ll keep adding any suggestions you have to the blog and remember any concerns speck to Chris Follows or the Tate team.
