This risk assessment identifies potential hazards for a photography shoot in a TV studio, including: - Studio lights falling and injuring someone if not properly secured - Cables and wires on the floor posing a trip hazard - Wet floors from rain or snow outside increasing risks of slips - Cameras without batteries disrupting the scheduled photography Mitigation strategies are outlined such as double checking light security, managing cables, warning of wet floors with signage, and having a backup camera.

RISKS ASSESSMENT – TV STUDIO
This risk assessment is for my photography in the TV studio where I will take photos
for my music magazine. The people who are at risk for the hazards I am about to list
are my cast, which will include a model for my front cover and another 2 models for
my content page, and my crew, which is myself. Also, there will be a teacher and a
technician supervising at the time and they are also at risk.

2. WHAT ARE THE HAZARDS?
• The hazards within the TV studio consist of things like the lights not being tightened properly
which could cause them to fall off and hit somebody who is present at that time. The chances of
this happening are very slim due to professionals have fitted the equipment so they know what
they are doing and how to make sure everything is up and safe. 4 – I have given this risk a high
number for the severity of injury due to if one of the lights fell and hit somebody who was in the
room it could cause them serious damage that they would have to go to hospital for due to it
could put them unconscious and maybe even cause them serious concussion. On the day I will
double check with the technicians that they have been checked and are safely attached to the
walls and give instructions to the cast and crew that they should not stand directly below the
lights just in case the unlikely situation occurs where one of the lights is not attached as good
and falls.

3. • Another hazard within being in the TV studio is that all the equipment will be plugged in.
Therefore, there will be a lot of wires lying on the floor so people around need to be careful
where they are walking and we need to try and make sure the wires are as far out the way as
they can be due to we do not want anyone falling over and getting hurt. 1/2 – I have given
this hazard a lower mark due to if the individual falls over they could just bruise themselves.
However, if they fell quite harshly and hit their head off the hard floor it could cause
concussion. I will try to reduce this risk by making sure everybody who is present is notified
about the hazard and on the day I will push the wires as far back as they can go.

4. • Although the TV studio is an indoor location, the weather is still a hazard due to if it is
raining or snowing outside then people shoes will be more slipply on the hard floor of
the studio. Therefore, this could cause somebody to slip on the wet surfaces and injure
themselves. To prevent this from happening on the day I will notify everybody about the
wet surfaces and be mindful as to where they step. Also, I will ask one of the
caretakers for a wet surface sign for a constant reminder to the cast and crew of the
wet surface. I would rate this risk a 1 due to if it did occur they would more than likely
just fall and bruise where they landed.

5. • Another hazard is due to working with technology, the camera could have no battery,
therefore, this could affect the planning of my group and other groups due to not being
able to do our photography until a further date which would delay our work for our
deadlines. I will reduce this risk before the day by making sure I know who is using the
cameras before me and that they are going on charge before I use them. On the day I
will also take my own camera for a backup in case a situation like this does occur.
