The document outlines some health and safety risks that need to be considered for a magazine photo shoot. Camera equipment needs to be securely mounted to tripods to prevent falling and hurting anyone. Electrical equipment also needs protection from rain to avoid damage or sparks that could harm people. Models should not have light sensitivities and must feel comfortable in the positions used to avoid risk of injury. Props like knives also require careful usage to maintain safety.

1. Risk assessment
There are some precautions in the production of my magazine that need
to be considered.
Firstly, the actual filming for the front cover, contents page and double
page spread article could involve some health and safety risks. The
camera if not being held by a person needs to be securely held on a
tripod to ensure that it doesn’t fall and possibly hurt someone.
The camera and other electrical equipment need to be shielded if it does
start to rain because they would get damaged and some sparks can be
offset which can cause a lot of harm to anyone standing nearby.
Also, some people can be sensitive to flashing lights so it needs to be
ensured the model doing the photo-shoot doesn’t suffer from this and is
comfortable with having his/her picture taken.
In addition to this, the model may need to adopt certain positions to give
a variety of photos that could possibly go on the cover, contents page or
double page spread article. However, we need to make sure that the
model is in sensible positions where the risk of hurting himself/herself is
very minimal or essentially non-existent.
Lastly, props are often used and we need to be careful with the sort we
use and the nature in which we use them. Typical props such as
sunglasses and hats are okay and this doesn’t really apply to them but
there are some props such as knives that may be used to create an
intimidating look. However, these props need to be used with great care
and sensibility.
