Location: In the country side
Risk Why is it a risk? Severity of Risk
Most Severe=5
Least Severe=1
How will I overcome/avoid this
risk?
Slips, trips
and falls
Could cause an
injury to the
subjects or to
myself, if the
ground is wet or
there is
unforeseen
obstructions
3
Likelihood : 3
To overcome this, I will pre-assess
the area and consider which areas
will be best to take the
photographs.
In addition to this, as it will be on
the grass/ in the country side, the
weather needs to be considered so
the day will need to be planned
ahead but also a secondary plan
put in place in case it rains (if the
grass is wet, it could be slippery)
Not
knowing the
area
Could lead to
unexpected
people being
around which
cause a potential
risk to both them
and us

Likelihood: 2
Find out beforehand if the
area/land is owned and if it is,
discuss with the owner if it is okay
to use this for the set period of
time.
Animals Unknown animals
in the area could
lead to
anxiousness of us
and the animals
2
Likelihood: 2
Ask the owner if its okay to use
their land and also if it is occupied
by any animals.
