Risk manager:Hannah Edwards

Hazard Risk Strategies for controlling the risk

Wires on the floor People could trip over the wires and hurt themselves

Make sure the wires are out of the way and taped to the floor so as not to be a hazard

Knocking over equipment Someone could break the equipment or (in the case of the lights) start a fire

Make sure the equipment is out of the way and placed in a safe place, make sure the lights are clearly marked and are fixed to the ground

Flash could hurt people’s eyes Model could have epilepsy or could hurt eyes

Check the flash is off before taking pictures

Carpet floor If model falls over on carpet they could get carpet burn

Make sure there is nothing to trip the model up

Other people may want to use the same space at the same time

Crowed area full of people, more likely for people to sustain injuries

Be observant and check no one has booked the same studio I want

Slipping on a wooden floor on the way to the classroom

Slip and hurt themselves or break something

Act sensibly and wear shoes with grip

Model falling off stool/ chair Could hurt themselves or break something

Be careful and try not to get the model to pose in an unsafe way
