In photography you need to write out a risk assessment before setting anything up this is so that you no any risks of hazards towards you or others, for example if you were taking pictures of a model you will need to make sure there is nothing on set for her to fall over.
When writing out a risk assessment you need to look around the room or place for any hazards and note them down such as is there were any water on the set you will need to either clean is up before laying out any electrical equipment, or if there were any one holding any drinks all lips much be tightened on so there will be no spills. You should always look at how to solve a hazard and what you will do to prevent anything from happening.
The things you need to look at before setting anything up would be:
- Audience/Public
- Access
- Lifting
- Confined spaces
- Animals
- Derelict buildings/ Dangerous machinery
- Electricity of gas
- Fire/ Flammable material
- Manual handling
- Noise
- Physical exertion
- Heat/ Cold
- Vehicles
- Violence/ Public disorder
- Water
- Weather
- Working patterns
- Working at heights
- Other
