To construct a health and safety assessment of one or more photoshoots i will be conducting for my magazine considering all possible eventualities

Key skills

• professional responsibility
• applying my knowledge of professional practices
• showing forethought and evidence of planning an event
• using the opportunity to research independently for my individual situations

TUC - trade unions congress

• represents british workers rights
• see: www.tuc.org.uk/
• See: www.worksmart.org.uk/

The health and safety at work act 1974

• had to be followed by all employers / authorities responsible for workers in uk
• A H&S commission was created

It protected people against risks to h and t in terms of:

• Dangerous substances / materials
• Maintenances of systems
• provision of instructions and training
• working environments
• allowing unions the right to create reps to enforce it
• Inspectors could gain access to workplaces

NUJ - national union of journalists

Represents UK journalists and protects their rights
has a committee which meets just to discuss H&S
See: www.nuj.org.uk/rights/health-and-safety/=

NUJ H&S concerns

• Bullying
• Stress
• Repetitive strain injury
• Public order situations
• conflict zones
• exiled journalists

What types of risks may there be in a photoshoot?

• The flash on the camera could be too bright and sharp and could trigger an epileptic fit
• Camera man could be standing on a table or ladder and they could fall off and injure themselves
• Could drop a camera on someone's foot 
• Could get a bad back from standing for a photoshoot for too long
• Could get jumped for you camera in a outside location.
• Risk of fire by a light falling over and smashing
• Tripping over wires
• Adequate lighting needed for visibility
• electrocution - water near electricity is a danger 

Hazard: Anything that can cause harm (eg. a chemical, electricity, ladders, ect)
Risk: how great the chance that someone will be harmed by the hazard

Assessing the risks
The likely effect of a hazard may for example be rated:

1. Major - death or major injury or illness causing long term disability
2. Serious - injuries or illness causing short - term disability
3. Slight - all other injuries or illnesses

The likelihood of harm may be rated

1. High - Where it is certain that harm will occur
2. Medium - Where harm will often occur
3. Low - Very little chance that harm will occur

What are the main hazards within the location of your photo shoot
The location we used for our photo shoot did present us with some hazards that we did face, they were: Boxes laying on the floor towards the entrance of the studio and with in the studio, this was a hazard because we could of tripped on them and injured our self. Another problem is that the wires leading to the light were quite open causing another tripping hazard, this would of been even more of a risk due to the heat of the light, if that were to smash it could create a fire hazard.

What do you need to find out about your venue? How can you investigate?
To find out about the hazards the hazards of out venue we could do a risk assessment test to see what potential hazards we would be faced with

What do I need to take photos of there? when can I do this?

I will need to take additional photos of the solo artist, all I need is a different background for the photos, I can do this during the working hours of the half term because that is when it is hopefully the least busiest
