Risk Control Taken
Making sure the models
are aware of the tripod
and the camera and keep
an eye on them to make
sure they don’t knock in to
it – making sure it’s stable
so it doesn’t fall over
either.
Making sure that the
artificial lighting in the
room isn’t too bright that
could have long lasting
effects on the eyes of the
people in the room –
maybe even for the
camera censor
Making sure that the wires
are tidy and out of the way
so that nobody trips on
them, causing damage to
themselves, others and
possibly equipment.
Making sure that all of the
wires are not damaged,
are out of the way.
Making sure that
everything on the shelves
are stable and that the
shelves themselves are
stable – keeping things
tidy – keeping things off of
the floor.

What Health and Safety legislation might you need to consider in this project?
There is not a particular safety legislation that is applicable to this project – however,
if I was a freelance photographer doing the same sort of activity I would have
insurance covering certain areas to ensure that any damage or accidents are
covered and easily sorted out.
