to further reduce risk? Tall, bright lights that are in the photography room. Grey backdrop on the back wall in the photography room Table that is in the corner of the room.

2 2 1

People might touch the lights in the photography room when they are hot and burn themselves. People could also trip over them when walking around to take the photos. The model could trip over the backdrop when getting into position if it isn’t taped down the floor properly. Also the photographer could trip over it when they’re trying to get the right angle. The model and photographer walking around the room might walk into the table and stub their toe.

The light switch is on the back of the light and away from where it gets hot. The lights are also in the corner of the room so they’re not crossing any walking space. The back drop in the photography room is already taped down to the floor. The table is tucked away in the corner of the room so it shouldn’t get in the way of people walking around.

Make sure the lights aren’t left on for longer than they need to prevent from them getting too hot. Make sure the lights stay out of the walking space. Make sure the backdrop is still taped down and none of it is sticking up. Make sure people in the room are walking around sensibly and they know the table is there.

to further reduce risk? Fitness equipment (treadmills, fitness bikes, etc.) Dumbbells that are in the gym People working out in the gym Glass windows in the gym

3 3 1 1

The model or photographer walking around the room could accidently walk into or hit the equipment. The dumbbells are hung up and if they’re not put back carefully they could fall and land on someone that’s stood by them. If people are working in the gym the people that are involved with the photography could get in the way and there could be a collision. Because there are glass doors and windows people could fall in to the window or a heavy piece of equipment and smash the glass and it could cut someone.

The equipment is well spaced out and there is plenty of room to walk around the equipment. The dumbbells slot in to the stands so they are not loose. They are also more towards the wall so they are out of the way of people walking around. The equipment is well spaced out with plenty of walking space so nobody should collide. The glass is strong so it will be hard to break.

Don’t take the pictures to close to the equipment and make sure you watch where you’re going. Make sure you double check that the dumbbells are put in properly before taking a photo by them. Make sure you aren’t in the way of anybody when taking the photo. Also make sure the gym isn’t too crowded or else you and the model will be in the way of people trying to use the equipment. Make sure if any of the models are using the equipment that they are stood far away from the window.

to further reduce risk? Wire on the floors that are attached to the computer and equipment The piano in the room Fire from the computer Damaged computer

1 1 2 2

People walking around the room might trip on the wire. People walking around the room might trip on the piano or they could hit their hip on it when they are walking passed. The computer in the room could have been left on and it could over heat because the room is small and it might cause a fire. People in the music room might have food or drink by the computer. It could spill and damage the computer.

The wires are tucked to the back of the room so they are out of walking a space. The piano is in the corner of the room so it should be in the way and you should be able to walk with plenty of space. The computer should have a fan inside to prevent it from over heating There is already a no eating rule in rooms.

Make sure the wires stay towards the walls and they aren’t sticking out. Make sure the piano hasn’t been pulled out any further so that you are unable to walk normally in through the gaps in the room. Make sure if nobody is using the computer that you turn it off. Because people can still drink water in the rooms you should make sure you keep the lid of the bottle and keep it on the floor.

to further reduce risk? Trees around the area The weather People passing by on their way to lessons.

1 1 1

People walking around might accidently walk into a tree if they aren’t paying much attention to where they are going. If the weather is raining it could ruin the atmosphere of the photograph and the floor could become slippery. People passing by might get silly because they see a camera and they could harass the people taking the photo because they want theirs taking and getting violent because they’re not getting what they want.

The trees aren’t in the way of walking and there is plenty of space for numbers of people to walk passed them safely. The floor isn’t smooth so not many accidents should happen. Also if it’s raining there are other places to take the photos. People are usually sensible around college and people are too busy going to their next lesson or where they need to be.

Make sure you don’t take the photos too close to the tree as I don’t need them in my photo. You could also take the photos on a different day if the atmosphere is too gloomy. Make sure if anyone starts messing around you go and tell someone or change the location.
