Aim: to construct a health and safety assesment of one or more photo shoots i will be conducting for for my magazine considering all possible eventualities

Key Skills:
  • Professional responsibility
  • Applying my knowledge of professional practices
  • Showing forethought and evidence of planning an event
  • Using the opportunity to research independently for my individual situation
There is organisation that exists called the TUC (Trades Union Congress) www.tuc.org.uk/

NUJ: The National Union of Journalists
www.nuj.org.uk/rights/health-and-safety/

  • Bullying
  • Stress
  • Repetitive Strain Injury
  • Public Order Situations
  • Conflict Zones
  • Exiled Journalists
What types of risks could there be in a photo shoot?

  • Being exposed to Asbestos material
  • Camera being a electric risk
  • Exploding camera
  • Lighting risks
  • Fire hazards
  • Tripping hazards
  • Light sensitivity

Risk: How great the chance will be for someone to get hurt

High

Medium

low

Hazard: Anything that can cause harm

1. Major:

2. Serious:

3. slight

Assessing the risks

Risk = severity of harm x likelihood of occurrence
This sum will give you a risk value between 1 and 9 allowing a comparison of risks
1 = high risk       9 = low risk

Equipment:
Camera (Avoid damage to camera via rain, snow and other weather negatives) use umbrella or plastic bag to cover camera in the rain

Batteries, take extra
Tripod
Make Up

Laptop/cables
Photo Editing Software
Camera Lenses, make sure you have them with you before you set off

Codes of practice and regulation

Defamation
Defamation is a law that is used and strictly followed  to protect said individual against inexcusable and unwarranted attacks that may cause ones reputation to be destroyed.

Libel:
Libel means it relates to the publication and permanent forms like magazines, newspapers and broadcasting. They do not have to prove they have suffered losses from the results of the publication.

Slander:
Slander is word of mouth communication, so a journalist may slate another individual by just talking about them in a third party, this does not need proof unless its a criminal action or said individual is being attacked on the basis of their profession

Copy Right Laws: 
Copyright entails that you can not copy someone's  work and pass it off as your own for free or sell it as your own and produce profit. If a piece of literature or any branded/non-branded companies etc have a 'c' symbol it will indicate that it is copy righted and therefore cannot be copied, if such boundaries where to be obscured there will be prosecution and most probable that a law suit wagered.

Data Protection Act:
The data protection act states that no one can use your personal information like your phone number, email, address, bank details etc. such as business and websites that you have given it to, these companies cannot pass your details on to third parties and this is because all the third parties are normally advertisers which will phone you and state your information and leave you wondering where they got it from.
