Model's Home Risk Assessment

1Hazard: Cables

What could cause harm? Loose cables trailing on the floor.

What is the likelihood of this happening? Unlikely

How much harm? This could lead to tripping which may lead to more serious injuries such as broken bones.

Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?

 Eliminate.       Reduce or substitute                 Control.         - these priorities will be applied as I will ensure that as little number of cables as possible are in the surrounding areas, the main possibility of a cable is the camera charging lead. If this is the case then I will ensure that the cables are tucked away and not on walk ways, therefore avoiding the chances of someone slipping. This will eliminate the possibility of cables causing a hazard.

2Hazard: Electricity

What could cause harm? Electric shocks caused by liquid spilling on sockets or electrical products or wires not being connected properly.

What is the likelihood of this happening? It is unlikely that this would happen due to safety precautions that are taken

How much harm? This could cause minor to serious amounts of harm starting from minor electric shocks to major ones which would involve having to be hospitalised.

Apply the following priorities, how will this risk be managed (provide detail)?

Eliminate.        Control.      -These priorities will be applied as I will ensure that all plug sockets which are not in use are switched off and any that are being used will have the plugs inserted securely and correctly. It is important that control is taken over the placing of drinks when doing the photo shoot. This means that it is important to only place drinks etc away from all electrical equipment to avoid spillages.
