This document outlines potential hazards and risks for a photo shoot and provides suggestions for controlling those risks. It identifies risks such as a car pulling out onto the road where a model is posing, sunlight causing eye damage, objects at the scene causing physical harm, burns from cigarettes, and dangerous animals. The document recommends checking the road before shooting, relocating for sunlight, removing unwanted objects, ensuring cigarettes are away from flammable materials, and using a trained animal to control these risks.
