CONTROL MEASURES
Existing control measures taken
against the risk
The wires are mostly stuck down to
the floor and stand out so you can
see that they are there.
Lights are placed on a stand so you
don’t have to lift them.
Camera lens caps and cases are used
to prevent breaking the camera.
*2 This is without control measures
F = fatal
Maj = major injury or permanent disability
Min = minor injury
NR = non-reportable
Student Name:
Maddison Collins
ACTION PLAN
What further control measures are
required when and by whom
Pay extra caution to wires on the floor
and tape them down so they do not
stick up.
Do not mess around with or near the
lights to reduce the risk of them
falling.
Be extra careful with the equipment
and always use camera cases.
*3 This is with control measures in place
Fr = frequent/likely/could occur repeatedly/expected
Pr = probable/not surprised/might occur often
Ps = possible/could occur sometime
R = remote/unlikely but conceivable
U = unlikely/improbable such that likelihood is almost zero
