Risk

(2) Who might be harmed and how?

(3) What controls exist to reduce

risk

(4) What action can be taken

To further reduce risk?

Headphone cables

The group could be harmed as if we

need to get in or out of the room as
quickly as possible, we could trip
over the headphone cables if they
are on the floor as the cables are
really long.

There are only enough

headphones for a class

Make sure when we are leaving

the room that headphones are
placed neatly on the tables and
make sure that any wires are not
on the floor to prevent anyone else
tripping up when they enter the
room.

Chairs

The group could be harmed as we

could tripped over chairs that are
not place back under the tables.

There are only enough chairs for a

class in the room.

Make sure when leaving the room

for any reason that we tuck chairs
under the table to prevent people
from tripping over.

Food and Drink

The group could be harmed as we

could spill drink on the equipment
and that could ruin the equipment
and it could blow up. Also, it is
unhygienic to bring food in such a
small space.

We are not allowed to bring food

and drink into the room.

Dont bring food and drink in the

room. If we do then have it outside
the room.

Small area

The group could be harmed as

because the area that the photos
are being taken is in such a small
space, we could fall over or it could
cause panic attack or
claustrophobia.

There is only enough space for

three people.

Make sure that there are only the

model and the photographer in the
room at that time.

1. List hazards something with the potential to cause harm here:

Seek to quantify the level of risk the likelihood of harm arising based on the number of persons affected, how often they are exposed to the hazard and the
severity of any consequence.
2. List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified
3. List existing controls here or note where the information may be found
4. List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take. Have regard for the level of risk, the cost of any action and the benefit you expect to
gain.

RISK RATING
a SEVERITY

b LIKELIHOOD

c FINAL SCORE RATING: what needs to be done

Dying or being permanently disabled

Will almost certainly happen

Serious injury/long term illness

Highly likely to happen

Temporary disability/3 days off sick

Not so likely

Will need medical attention

Even less likely

Minor injury eg. Bruise, graze

Unlikely to happen at all

16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is

controlled
10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action
straight away to control the risk
6-9
Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and
make a plan to do something about risk
3-5
Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep
possible action in mind
1-2
Low or trivial risk. No further action
required.

SO: a x b = c
Action Required
Make sure we follow our actions at the top to prevent injury
Make sure we a dear to health and safety practises
