This risk assessment document identifies potential hazards and risks for a student taking photographs outside at college. It lists slip hazards from a wet or uneven surface, tripping over bags, and overcrowding as potential risks. It then provides control measures to mitigate each risk, such as placing warning signs for wet floors, cordoning off the area, and rearranging furniture. The document also specifies an action plan for the student to arrive early and re-check safety measures when adjusting equipment.

If it has been raining prior to me
taking my photographs I will
display a wet floor sign so people
are aware and understand they need
to walk slower and be careful.
Ensure all bags are positioned away
from where my photos will be
taken, or ensure someone is holding
them so nobody can trip over them.
Ensuring only the models needed
are around the area and corning off
this section of the outdoors so the
space is not over crowded where
people can be hurt.
If there is any major holes or un
even levels among they gravel I
will cover this and inform everyone
who will be present so they can
ensure they are more aware and
careful.
I will go five minutes earlier
than everyone else to re arrange
the tables in a safer format.
I will also cordon of the area
which we will be using to
assure un-wanted people won’t
be in our way and shut the door
once all my models and camera
crew are inside the studio.
I will also ensure that when the
lights or backdrop is adjusted
that all safety measured is
carried out again.
