Hazard	Persons who may be harmed	Property which may be damaged	Risk controls already in place & persons responsible for communicating them	Risk Assessment LOW, MODERATE, HIGH, EXTREME	Further measures needed for reducing risk
Tripping on the background fabric, which covers the floor and the back wall, which can cause injuries	The photographer and the subject of the photograph	The fabric used for the background	A bright coloured fabric is used instead of a fabric similar to the rest of the room, the head of photography would be responsible for not taping it down properly and making regular checks that it is secure of safe	LOW RISK	You could tape down the whole side of the fabric on the ground to secure it and to make sure no one can trip
Over–heating lighting and equipment which can burn you if it is touched	The photographer, technician and subjects of the photograph	The lighting and other photography equipment	A responsible adult that will notice whether there are any issues, they make frequent checks and make sure everything is turned off before leaving	MODERATE RISK	Invest in a cooling system so that the lights won’t get too hot or use weaker bulbs, but that could affect the overall look of the photographs. Teach the students about how to be aware of the risks and how to avoid and read the signs of over heating
Camera breakages: The broken glass can cut your hands if touched when clearing away	Photographer	The camera and additional lenses	A strap is on the camera so that you can secure it around your neck and there is common sense to hold the camera in two hands to make sure it is stable	HIGH RISK	Could use a tripod to stabilize the camera even further, but that could create further risks of the tripod falling over and it may not be tall enough for some shots.
