Health and safety

 

As I am taking a picture which may not be during lesson I will need to make sure that I am aware of health and safety.

If I am going outside of school I need to think of certain factors before and during the process of taking the photos:

• Make sure that the area that I am taking my photo in is safe; by this I mean no glass, rubbish or anything like that is arounf you because that could cause injury to any of us.
• I need to make sure that we am in a safe area so that we feel comfortable to get the best picture possible without feeling worried about the environment around us.
• When handling the camera I need to make sure that I am holding it correctly and make sure I have a safety cord on it; this is just in case for any reason the camera comes out from my hand.
• Depending on where the photo is being taken, I need to make sure that all of us have the correct clothing on.

If I am taking a picture in school then I need to make sure that:

• Make sure before any photos are took I need to make sure that the area of work is safe for everyone to use and if not then make sure that I do not go into that area.
• If am taking pictures in a safe environment so that there is risk to any of us; by making sure there is nothing we could slip on, such as a wet floor.
• Make sure that we are all wearing appropriate clothing so that know one has a risk of injuring themselves.
• I need to make sure that there are no lose cables on the floor of anywhere, which any of us could trip over.
• In some class rooms there are moveable lights an these are quite low; we need to be careful that none of us bang our heads on them but also reduce the risk of having it fall on anyone.
