This risk assessment identifies potential hazards students may face while filming or taking photos in an art studio room on campus. Hazards include tripping over wires, studio lights, or other objects left on the floor. The probability of these hazards occurring is considered possible if control measures are followed. Control measures specified include keeping wires out of walkways, being aware of surroundings while moving equipment, and clearing the floor before starting. An action plan calls for further precautions like pointing out wire locations, scheduling activities when fewer students are present, and positioning lights safely.

-Make sure you watch where you
are walking at all times
-Wires which are not needed and
are in the way could be moved
-Make sure that when you are
taking photos to watch where you
are going so you don’t walk into
anyone
-Whilst taking the images make
sure you look around before you
move so you don’t bump into a
light stand
- Make sure you watch where you
are walking at all times
-When enterting a room point
out all the wires to those who
are going to be in the
photoshoot room so they are
aware where they could trip
over.
-Try to take the images when
there are likely to be a low
flow of student e.g. at lesson
time rather than in lunch time
-stand in a position where you
are behind the lights so that if
you do move without looking
you don’t go back into a light
-before taking the images,
make sure you have checked
the whole room for anything
lying around, pick it up and put
it in a safe place where no one
will trip over it
