Soffia Farmer conducted a risk assessment for taking student photos in the college library. The assessment identified hazards like shelf congestion, furniture, and students. Control measures were put in place, such as not leaning on shelves, keeping walkways clear, and taking photos at quiet times. Further actions included ensuring the model doesn't lean on shelves, photographing at quiet times, and keeping chairs tucked under tables to minimize risks.

Don’t take the picture against the
shelves and don’t lean on them.
More than one enterance/exit to
avoid traffic of people.
Tables are apart. Walkway past
chairs and tables.
I will make sure the model
doesn’t lean on the shelf to
make it fall.
I will ensure to take the image
at a quiet time during lesson
rather than at a busy time like
lunch.
I, photographer will make sure
all chairs are tucked under the
table and bags are away. Also,
I will not have the model sit on
a table so less risk of things
falling.
