This risk assessment form summarizes potential hazards in the radio room for a photoshoot. It identifies hazards such as movable chairs, loose cables, drinks near computers, bags, fires, doors, pipes, tables, and high objects. For each hazard, it lists who may be harmed, existing controls to reduce risk, and additional actions that can be taken to further reduce risk, such as enforcing rules and securing objects. The assessment was undertaken on December 22, 2016 by Ben Clarke to review safety in the radio room.

People walking around the room
could fall over the chairs.
People moving around the room
could fall over the loose cables.
Anyone sat around the computers
and it could electrocute them.
People walking around could
potentially fall over the bags.
If a fire starts it could harm anyone
in the room.
People stood near the door could be
hit by it if someone is opening the
door.
People moving around might hit
their foot on the pipes.
There is space to walk between the
rows and gaps under the tables to
tuck the chairs in. Also, people
shouldn’t be moving around the
room.
Cables are organised behind the
computers and through holes in the
desk. Cables are anchored to the
PC tower out of the way.
No one is allowed drinks near the
computers.
There is enough space under the
desks to place bags and
belongings at underneath out the
way.
Fans are already built into the PC
tower to try and prevent any fires
from starting.
The door has glass so you can see
through it to see if anyone is near
the door and it is reinforced glass
so it won’t smash.
There are rules in place so that
people aren’t moving around in the
first place.
Always put the chairs under the
desks.
Use of cable tidies.
Enforce the rules of not having
drinks.
Enforce the rules of keeping bags
under the table out of the way.
Do not leave the computers on
overnight so they are not being
overused and prevents any
chance of a fire.
Make sure people aren’t moving
around the room.
Put a cover over the pipes so that
no one is able to be harmed by
them. Enforce rules so people
aren’t moving around and then
they won’t be able to hurt
themselves on the pipes.

High objects

People moving around could bump
into the table which sticks out.
People sat at the table could be
harmed if one of the speakers on
the wall fell off.
There are rules in place so that
people aren’t moving around in the
radio room.
The objects on the wall are drilled
into the wall so they would stay on
it without falling off.
Enforce the rules of not moving
around.
Make sure that the objects on the
wall are secure before starting the
live show.
1. List hazards something with the potential to cause harm here:
Seek to quantify the level of risk the likelihood of harm arising based on the number of persons affected, how often they are exposed to the hazard and the
severity of any consequence.
2. List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified
3. List existing controls here or note where the information may be found
4. List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take. Have regard for the level of risk, the cost of any action and the benefit you expect to
gain.
RISK RATING
a SEVERITY b LIKELIHOOD c FINAL SCORE RATING: what needs to be done
5 Dying or being permanently disabled 5 Will almost certainly happen 16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is
controlled
4 Serious injury/long term illness 4 Highly likely to happen 10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action
straight away to control the risk
3 Temporary disability/3 days off sick 3 Not so likely 6-9 Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and
make a plan to do something about risk
2 Will need medical attention 2 Even less likely 3-5 Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep
possible action in mind
1 Minor injury e.g. Bruise, graze 1 Unlikely to happen at all 1-2 Low or trivial risk. No further action required.
