2. Hazard Evaluation
Hazard: Cables
What couldcause harm? – Havingyourfeetentangledincablesandfallingover.
What isthe likelihoodof thishappening? –Notverylikelytohappen.
How muchharm? – Couldbe rangingfroma small cut to an openwound.
Applythe followingpriorities,howwill thisriskbe managed(providedetail)?
(1) Eliminate.(2) Reduce orsubstitute.(3) Isolate. (4) Control.(5) Personal protectiveequipment
The cablescan be tieddowntothe groundso thattheydon’tstick out.
Hazard: Electricity
What couldcause harm? – Beingelectrocuted,plugsocketshavingcontactwithliquids.
What isthe likelihoodof thishappening? –Veryunlikely tohappen.
How muchharm? – Can cause death or brief shock.
Applythe followingpriorities,howwill thisriskbe managed(providedetail)?
(1) Eliminate.(2) Reduce orsubstitute. (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment
Anyelectrical devicescanbe isolatedfrompeople,makingsure thatonlyone personisusinga
camera at a time,alsopeople canwearprotective clothingtomake sure that there isnorisk of being
electrocuted. Allplugsocketswill be protected.
Hazard: FirstAid
What couldcause harm? – Noone knowinganyfirstaidskills
What isthe likelihoodof thishappening? –Verylikely tohappen.
How muchharm? – Nofirst-aidskillsmean thatanyinjuriescouldbecomeworse if nottreated
immediately.
Applythe followingpriorities,howwill thisriskbe managed(providedetail)?
(1) Eliminate.(2) Reduce or substitute.(3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment
Hire a specialistthatunderstandsfirstaidandmake sure he isalwaysready.

3. Hazard: Lighting
What couldcause harm? – Lightscan become hot,brightlightscandamage someone’seyes.
What isthe likelihoodof thishappening? –Unlikelytohappen.
How muchharm? – Someone couldgetburntorreceive permanenteyedamage
