The document provides details of a photography shooting schedule at Nunnington Hall in Ryedale on January 29th, 2014. Equipment including a DSLR camera, tripod, memory card, and model release forms have been booked. The models will be people taking photographs to document the hall and local produce in a documentary style. Only props found on site like tables and chairs will be used. A risk assessment was completed and identifies potential hazards like tripping and addresses mitigation steps. Contingency plans include alternative locations and equipment if needed. Relevant health and safety legislation is also considered.

1. Shooting Schedule

Models: The images will be part of a collection of eight photographs that document
Nunnington Hall. From Workers in the gardens preserving the National park to the
workers in the shops selling local produce from farms nearby. The models used will
be other people taking photographs as it is more of a documentary type of
photography rather than a photojournalist approach.
Props: Props used will only be that of what is found at Nunnington Hall, such as the
tables and chairs found in the interior of the site.
Risk assessment completed? Yes
Contingency: To go into York city centre and take images of the old buildings and
walls. Also as Nunnington halls staff might not be working, a contingency is put in
place to take photographs of any workers in the garden industry. Should the weather
effect the outcome of the photographs then it has been thought about to take the
image indoors. One shoot should be enough to take the documentary images
however if needed a location will be prepared for a second shoot. If the battery on the
camera dies out then I will have a charger ready to get it back running and whilst
waiting I will look at the location and what settings will be appropriate. If the camera
does not work on the day of the trip then Thursday will be used to go to a different
location of York centre and images will be taken with a different camera. If the tripod
used for the photographs does not work or the spirit level is broken, I will make my
body a tripod to keep the camera as still as possible to avoid any camera shake in the
photographs.

Darkroom exposure to chemical
agents.
It may lead to respiratory,
allergic, and nervous system
diseases.
Having breaks every 15 minutes
when in dark areas.

4. What Health and Safety legislation might you need to consider in this project?
Health and safety at work act 1974. I am to consider the general duties of the students when they the
care of the tutors. I will therefore look at students acting responsibly and being safe when around certain
sites or equipment. To also consider the tutors (People in charge of students behaviour) and the way
they should act. They should be trained to deal with certain aspects of the trip and to set an example on
how to behave in the premises of a National Park. They should also know whether the location of where
the students going is safe. Also instruct the students to take photographs without supervision.
Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations act 1992. This may be considered when
editing the images taken on the computer. Regular breaks to be taken to avoid eye problems.
Control of Hazardous and health (COSHH) regulations (2002). Registration, evaluation,
authorisation and restriction to chemicals (REACH) both of these are used for risk assessment
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)
