Hazard: Cables
What could cause harm?
The loose cables could be the cause of a ruined image
because too many cables could mean that one may find themselves putting
down a difficult step on the cables. However, a more obvious problem would
be tripping on the cables, as too many could mean that a trip/fall in
inevitable.
What is the likelihood of this happening?
The likelihood of this happening however, is rather small, because my model
and myself are both responsible and would look where we step.
How much harm?
At worst, the cables could cause a broken camera (smashed lens/internal
damage). But they could also cause physical damage, though this would only
be minor (grazed knee/scuffed hands).
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be
managed (provide detail)?
(1) Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective
equipment
(2) Reduce or Substitute – I could move the cables appropriately to reduce
the risk of injury or damage. I could even (3) isolate the cables by
sectioning them off in a corner of the room. To further reduce the risk of
damage, I could tie the cables together in a bundle so that it would be
virtually impossible to trip.

Hazard: Communication Failure
What could cause harm?
This may not cause direct harm, but could jeopardise my
photoshoot. This would happen because my model either forgot or chose not
to present themselves at the appropriate time for my photoshoot. If this
was the case and my back-up model was not present, then it may mean that I
have wasted my slot in the studio.
What is the likelihood of this happening?
The likelihood of this happening is around 50%, because while my model is
good for modelling, they are notorious for being irresponsible. However, I
do have a contingency plan and that is my back-up model.
How much harm?
It would cause much inconvenience because I would have used my time in the
studio without having actually produced anything worthwhile. Then, I would
have to make other arrangements to use another time where I could take my
images.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be
managed (provide detail)?
(1)Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective
equipment
(4) I would simply have to control the situation by ensuring that my model
does arrive at the appropriate time. For example, I could arrange to meet
my model before the shoot as a social meeting, and then take them to the
photoshoot personally.

Hazard: Confined Spaces
What could cause harm?
In the confined space, it may be possible that fragile
equipment could become damaged. For example, the backdrop may fall if there
is not enough room to move, or I may even find that I am too close to the
model to take a good-quality picture.
What is the likelihood of this happening?
Although the likelihood of having a small space reducing
the quality of my image is low, I still would find a larger space more
comfortable when shooting.
How much harm?
This wouldn’t cause much harm, but if there are issues
with images when I take a closer look after the photoshoot, there may not
be space nor time to take another picture and I would have to make do with
what I have already.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be
managed (provide detail)?
(1)
Eliminate. (2) Reduce or
substitute (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective
equipment
There is nothing that
can really be done about having bad quality images due to the place in
which I had to take the images, but I must ensure that my images are of
good, workable quality while in the studio.

Hazard: Lighting
What could cause harm?
The lighting could also limit the quality of my images,
but physical issues may include minor temporary blinding with spotlights.
For example, I could turn the spot light on without first having checked
where it’s directing the light and how intense this may be to the naked
human eye. This would therefore cause temporary or irreparable damage to
the eye of my model; even myself if the reflector is facing the light.
What is the likelihood of this happening?
The likelihood of this happening is rather high because the spotlight may
be facing the model after the previous photoshoot. Therefore, I must ensure
that the light is facing the ceiling or the floor because I switch it on.
How much harm?
As mentioned, the light could cause either temporary or permanent damage to
the eye, as they are very intense… especially since they are confined to a
small space too. I must therefore look at the settings of the light before
I make any attempt to switch it on. If the model is injured, my photoshoot
and – ultimately – my project could be in trouble too.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be
managed (provide detail)?
(1)Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective
equipment
Since I cannot eliminate the lights, nor can I isolate them or give my
model protective glasses, I must first reduce the intensity (2) but
adjusting the settings which would thus mean that I am controlling the
light.
