1. Risk Assessment

2. When around/operating camera
equipment:
• If not using a tripod, make sure the camera strap is
worn when camera is in use
• When the camera is not in use, assure the lens cap is
on securely
• Do not touch bulbs of lighting equipment or
projectors, they can get very hot
• Don’t look directly into lighting equipment or
projectors, it can cause damage to the eyes
• Keep all spare lenses, bulbs and camera accessories on
a raised surface and never on the floor
• Keep all liquids away from filming/lighting/electrical
equipment

and securely before and after shooting

• Don’t alter the mixing desk/levels without
permission of the sound engineer or producer
• Keep all food and drink away from studio
