The document outlines potential hazards during a studio shoot and at an outdoor location shoot. For the studio shoot, the main hazards are wires, equipment, electricals, wet surfaces and spills, lack of information, and aggression between people. To prevent risks, wires should be bundled, equipment secured safely away from people, electricals not touched when hot, spills cleaned immediately, clear communication beforehand, and issues addressed. For the outdoor location shoot, hazards are unsafe weather, equipment, and location-specific risks should be prevented by checking weather, securing equipment safely, and having shelter from changes.

1. Studio Shoot
Hazards Who’s at risk? What are the risks of the
hazard?
Potential to harm? How to prevent and avoid
risk?
Wires Photographer and models Tripping, falling and slipping Moderate Ensure wires are all bunched together and less
scattered as then you can only trip in one area,
and make sure that everyone involved knows
where the wires are and inform them to step over
them to prevent any accidents.
Equipment Photographer and models Falling on people involved Moderate Ensure that any equipment like lights are set up
well and are sturdy, and ensure they are a safe
distance away from anyone involved so that if
something does fall it doesn't hit or fall onto
anyone.
Electricals Photographer and models Electrocution and heat High Ensure that no one touches things when they do
not need to or, if it is hot, turn it off and wait until
it has cooled down. Also ensure no drinks are close
to any source of electricals like power outlets.
Wet surfaces and spills Photographer and models Slipping and falling Moderate Ensure that if any drinks are in the studio that they
have secured lids and are sealed properly at all
times. Also have a mop or cloth on hand to clear
up an spills.
Lack of information and
understanding

shoot as to what to expect and what is needed of
them and remind everyone involved enough
before the shoot so that they aren't forgetting.

between people involved
