Risk: Sunlight damaging eyes/ skin.
Controlling risk: Do not make your models look
directly into sun light, try to avoid spending long periods outdoors whilst
taking photos, and if this is proving difficult, warn your models beforehand to
wear sun cream/ glasses.
Findings: I did not spend a lot of time outdoors with
the camera, so the risk was avoided.
Risk: Tripping over wires
Controlling risk: Try to use as little wiring as
possible, and use plugs as close to shooting as possible. If you need lots of
wires (e.g.: several lights) make sure wires all follow a single past and warn
people of their position
Findings: After we realised we would be with a lot of
wires, we chose our location to suit this and took out pictures near a wall
socket, and did not let wires trail in our paths.
Risk: Using props
Controlling risk: use props only when necessary, if props are being used in an inappropriate fashion,
find a substitute. Do not let young children carry small props.
Findings: Only a few props were used for a short
period of time, not injuries were created.
Risk: The environment of location.
Controlling risk: Warn models/ helpers of which
locations are going to be used when next shooting, and therefore they can chose
to dress appropriately to this.
Findings: After warning my models of where we will be
taking photos, they all wore appropriate clothing/ shoes, and thus avoided the
risk of tripping, falling or becoming cold.
Risk: The weather
Controlling risk: Warn all helpers/ models of the
weather forecast if shooting outdoors; also choose which equipment to use
depending on the weather, for example: do not use large lights in the rain.
Findings: Luckily, the weather was mild throughout
all of my shoots, but models were still prepared in case of a downpour to get
all equipment inside, as well as themselves.
