This risk assessment document identifies potential hazards students may face while taking photos in a college photography studio. The hazards identified include tripping over wires, lights falling on people, the backdrop hitting people if changed too fast, and any props falling or breaking and hurting feet. The degree of risk for each hazard is assessed, along with existing control measures like covering wires, using sturdy light stands, using a paper backdrop, and checking props. The document outlines further action plans like informing models of wire locations, only allowing trained people to handle equipment, and placing props away when not in use.

1: Wires have been covered and
collected to minimise the amount of
wires exposed
2: Sturdy stands are in place to stop
the lights from falling
3:Backdrop is paper to minimise
the weight falling
4: Props are checked to make sure
that they are safe to use
1: Letting the models know
about exposed wires in the
studio so they can watch out
2/3: Only let people who have
been taught to use the
equipment to alter anything
regarding them
4: Props are to be placed away
until they are used and then put
back again when they have
been used
