This risk assessment document evaluates the risks of students taking photos in the college library. It identifies potential hazards such as people getting in the way, tripping over equipment, loose wiring, or falling bookshelves. The degree of risk is assessed as minor to major depending on the hazard. Control measures that have been implemented include taking photos during class time when fewer people are present, keeping the photo area clear, and checking for hazards like loose wires or unstable bookshelves. Further actions planned are to ensure photoshoots occur when the library is less busy and that all hazards are addressed before shooting.

To carry out the task during lesson
time, so the location is not as busy as
it could be.
Ensure that the place where I am
taking pictures is free of belongings
so there is not a risk of the model or
my self-tripping.
To make sure that the wiring is not
in the way, and is not hazardous to
people
To ensure the book shelves are study
and spaced out
I, the photographer will ensure
that the photoshoot is carried
out in lesson instead of
lunchtimes or break times,
where the area tends to get
busier.
I the photographer will check
the area where I will be
photographing; this is so there is
not a risk of the model or myself
tripping.
I the photographer, will check
the area before the photoshoot
to ensure that there are no loose
wires, so that me, the model or
any other student does not cause
an injury.
I, the photographer will make
sure that me and the model, do
not stand too close to the book
shelves.
