Hazard EvaluationHazard: Smoking on Set and Flammable Materials.
What could cause harm? The dresses worn by my models were in fact flammable and as one of my models smoke, this is a potential hazard, if she were to drop the cigarette or lighter on her or my other model’s dresses, it could cause it to light up, leading to burning of the dresses damaging them for my photos and more dangerously, could lead to the burning of the girls themselves.
What is the likelihood of this happening? As one of the girls does in fact smoke, this could be quite likely to occur.
How much harm? The harm could range from only a slight mark on the dresses to serious skin burning if they were to catch fire.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?
(1) Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment
I will eliminate the risk by banning smoking during my photoshoot and making sure my model doesn’t carry lighters etc on them whilst the dresses are present.
Hazard: Audience/Public
What could cause harm? The location for this photoshoot is in a street with quite a few children that are often playing out in the street. These children range in ages from very young up to almost our age and might become hostile especially as we will be taking photos in dresses out the front of the house.
What is the likelihood of this happening? This is quite unlikely as harm is probably not going to occur caused by children in the street of my photoshoot.
How much harm? The harm will not be a lot unless the public become violent, in which case it would probably be minor harm, such as bruises at the most.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?
(1)Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute. (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment
To avoid this risk I will control the situation, choose a day or time that people are less likely to be out in the street. For example, I wouldn’t choose midday on Sunday. During the week at a time when most people will be at school or work would be best. I will also control any situation that begins, by not reacting to comments and continuing with my photoshoot.
Hazard: Costume / Make up
What could cause harm? As my models have high heels on and long dresses, especially with the tight fishtail dress, it could cause trips and a lack of movement that could potentially lead to my models gaining injuries.
What is the likelihood of this happening? I will try to minimise walking around and pushing my models
to keep moving. I will warn them and have people on hand to help them with their dresses. I will also make sure that I have the right equipment to look after my models if they do trip, such as a first aid kit.
How much harm? The harm from this risk will not be major, probably only ranging from cuts to bruises. A sprained ankle/wrist is probably the most harm that would occur.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?
(1) Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute. (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment
I will reduce the risk by having people on hand to look after my models and help them get into position, as well as having a first aid kit available on the location at all time.
Hazard: Glass
What could cause harm? As my photos are outside and my models will be sitting and lying on the grass for my photographs they could get cut on glass on the ground, whether they sit on glass, lean on glass or step barefoot onto glass.
What is the likelihood of this happening? This could be quite likely especially in a housing area, where people will be recycling and carrying things to and fro, potentially dropping glass objects.
How much harm? The harm could range from minimum cuts to infections, depending on where the glass has been and how the cuts are treated.
Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?
(1) Eliminate. (2) Reduce or substitute. (3) Isolate. (4) Control. (5) Personal protective equipment
I will check the area I plan to use and make sure it is completely clear and safe for my models, eliminating any potential for injuries due to glass.
