Health and Safety

This was the Risk Assessment Form we had to fill out each time we wanted to book the studio or equiptment. It highlights what risks there will be and how we could prevent them. It also includes our names and numbers in case anyone needed to get hold of us if for some reason we were late to the booking or forgot to give a camera back.

On our shoot there are several potential hazards which we had to identify and take precautions to stop these from harming any persons or equipment. 1. Wires and tripods are a tripping hazard that could potentially mean lighting rigs or cameras could be knocked down or broken. We resolved this issue by taping down any wires that were a potential risk so we wouldn't trip. 2. Lights are a hazard as they can get very hot and are a potential for burns. We made sure everyone knew the lights were hot and positioned them as out of the way as we could while retaining the lighting effect we wanted. 3. Dark atmospheric lighting means that all the risks are even more likely as its harder to see. We told everyone to take care when walking around the room and keep moving to a minimum while the lights were down.
