24. Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment
Being able to take photos for a draft magazine has enabled me to gather ideas on what i want my final piece to look like. I can analyse the positive and negative aspects of my photos and then improve. However i have to remember to complete a risk assessment before hand so that everyone is safe and everything runs to plan. 


RISK



  1. Taking photos on hard to reach or uneven ground - assess the area for unseen hazards and take your time to reach the area. Make sure people have full concentration throughout.
  2. Taking photos near roads - Be constantly aware of traffic, don't get too close to the roads or do anything that could be dangerous.
  3. Weather when taking photos outside - Make sure everyone wears suitable clothing as you can be outside for a long period of time.
  4. Rain- Ground can be wet and unpredictable to work on, equipment may get damaged 
  5. USB lead for camera- Can be unreliable as leads for the cameras from school are often broken, double check its in good condition.
  6. Permission- Some areas you will need permission before taking photos.
  7. Unpredicted problems- always have a back up plan of what to do if something happens to prevent you taking photos e.g) Unpredicted bad weather, think of a suitable place to take photos in doors.
  8. Taking photos within school- Ensure you take photos at a time when there are few people around e.g. Not at lunch or break.
