This risk assessment form summarizes the risks involved in a photography project taking place from February 6th to April 5th 2020 at Sunderland College. It identifies hazards such as a hot environment, falling or moving objects, obstructions, trip hazards, electric shocks, fire, lack of oxygen, and stress/anxiety. Control measures are outlined to minimize each risk, such as turning on air conditioning, securing equipment, clearing obstructions, being cautious of wires, keeping water away from electronics, turning lights off when not in use, opening doors, and maintaining a calm environment. The producer, cast and assessor sign off on the assessment.
