Health and Safety
Health and safety is an important part to consider when using various electrical equiptment. Many self imployed Photographers who work in their own studio should always follow a risk assesment when photographing clients. I have listed five steps to health and safety and described various situations.
1.Identify the hazards
When using any electrical equiptment eg photography lighting it is important to identify any hazards. Wires and any lighting equiptment must be positioned safely so clients cannot trip up.
2.Decide who might be harmed
All clients could come to harm whilst visiting a photography studio however if children are being photographed then extra care must be taken to provide a safe working environment. Eg any house pets must be locked away,all equiptment must be out of reach.
3.Evaluate the risks
Always ensure that any risks that may have happened have been evaluated and should not happen again.
4. Record and implement your findings
Always make a note of any risks that may have happened within the studio and what you have done to change it.
5.Review your assesment
It is important to review your health and safety notes regulary to ensure sufficient changes have been put into place when required.
