Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

Hazard: Cables
What could cause harm? – My model or staff could fall or trip over the cables that are there either for the camera itself or for the soft box etc.
What is the likelihood of this happening? – The likely hood of this happening could be quite high depending on the amount of wires on the floor.
How much harm? – Even though the likely hood of this happening is quite high I don’t believe that it could cause serious harm to anyone unless they land awkwardly.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?
(1) Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment


Hazard: Slipping, tripping or falling
What could cause harm? – One of the people involved in the photo-shoot could fall over anything that is on the floor, or they could just slip over a wet floor.
What is the likelihood of this happening? – The likely hood of this happening is not very high as I will make sure when I go into the photo-shoot that there is no tripping hazards on the floor.
How much harm? – If this did happen there is a chance of it causing serious harm to someone but the odds of it causing serious harm is not very high.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?
(1)Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment

Hazard: Lighting
What could cause harm? - The lighting could be too bright and it may get into the models eyes resulting in them falling over something, or it could even damage their eyes
What is the likelihood of this happening? - The likelihood of this happening is not very high but I will still make sure that the model is out of the way when first testing the lighting.
How much harm? - If this did happen it could results in the model falling over something and possibly spraining/ breaking something, or it could cause damage to the eyes.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?
(1) Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment
