To Construct A Health & Safety Assessment Of One or More Photoshoots I Will Be Conducting For My Magazine Considering All Possible Eventualitities.

Key Skills
 - Professional responsibility
 - Applying my knowledge of professional practises
 - Showing forethought and evidence of planning an event
 - Using the opportunity to research independently for my individual situation/s

TUC - Trades Union Congress
 - Represents British workers' rights.

NUJ - National Union of Journalists
 - Represents UK journalists and protects their rights.
 - Has a committee which meets just to discuss H&S

NUJ's H&S Concerns
 - Bullying
 - Stress
 - Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
 - Public Order Situations
 - Conflict Zones
 - Exiled Journalists

What types of risks may there be in a photo-shoot?
 - Tripping on wires on floor in studio.
 - Burnt by lighting in studio.
 - Slip on wet floor.
 - Hands could be wet when operating cables/wires and plugging stuff in (electric shock).
 - Could hurt back when carrying heavy equipment.
 - Fire hazard; lighting & electrical equipment.
 - Light sensitivity (epilepsy).
 - Temperature control (16 Degrees Celsius AT LEAST).
 
Risk - How great the chance is that someone will be harmed by the hazard.
Hazard - Anything that will cause harm (e.g. a chemical, electricity, ladders, etc.)
 
Assessing The Risk
 - Major; Death or major injury or illness causing long term disability.
 - Serious; Injuries or illness causing short term disability.
 - Slight; All other injuries or illnesses.
 
Likelihood Of Harm
 - High; Where it is certain that harm will occur.
 - Medium; Where harm will often occur.
 - Low; Where harm will seldom occur.
 
Risk
 
+
 
Severity of Harm
 
=
 
Likelihood of occurrence.
 
This sum gives a risk value 1 -> 9 allowing a comparison of risks
 
1= Low Risk.            9= High Risk.

For my photo-shoot I have had to fill out a Health & Safety Assessment form that clearly shows all the risks and dangers during my photo-shoot in the studio.

I have given the correct information for each hazard and added additional comments on how to make sure that the hazard can be avoided OR what to do when this happens

Here is the Google Drive link for my document (Unfinished, more detail to be added as I go along)

 
UPDATE - 07/01/2014
 
Added another hazard.

    You need to put a lot more detail in here to secure a Merit. I gave you feedback on your interim marking (you have photocopied) and you need to act on this.

    You need to:

    - Finish filling in titles at the top, most importantly stating the location
    - If this is school campus (i.e Mr Salter's studio) then you need to refer to safety protocol documents that you have read to prove that you have researched. We have covered this in class. You can refer to them and quote them.
    - You have access to the school fire policy and the Handsam risk assessment which has a section on topics which you are mentioning here (electricals, PAT testing).
    - You should also refer to which staff are first aid trained nearby that location and whether they are trained in the areas that would be helpful in some of your rows (you can research the courses they went on online).
    - This document should be jam packed with info and if in doors, the fire row should be pretty full
    - Bullet points in the rows is fine

    Please see me after school about this. This, as well as Budget Table, are the hardest documents and you need to get them right.
