Photography studio setup - Health and Safety

Health and safety is a very important whenever you are filming something or when shooting something in a photographic studio. In every situation there is going to be some sort of risk that could cause injury to someone, no matter how big or small, it could go from wires on the floor to climbing up a ladder, safety procedures need to be in place, resulting in the completion of risk assessment forms.
Below is our completed risk assessment for the room where we were going to be setting up a photographic studio.

The first sheet is just showing the names of people who are involved in the production and the date of production and the address.

This sheet identifies the risks that might be present when shooting/setting up our photography studio. It shows a list of visible hazards in one column, then asks if anything of them are present and then it has a column to write in the solution for any risks that might be present on location. For example, the hazard of audience and public, this could result in having too many people in one area and they might not be needed in the main area, also if the area that is being used is quite confined and there is a lot of people in there, it may become extremely hot, and it might cause people to overheat. The solution to this would be to put signs up, stating that if you are not needed in the main area then please go elsewhere.
