In order to make sure it is safe to take all of the photos I need to carry out a risk assessment, after visiting the locations that the pictures will be taken, I came up with a list of possible/potential danger:
Potential danger: Model could fall of the table
Potential outcomes: could injure themselves, bumps's or broken bones.
Actions to avoid potential outcomes: make sure everybody is very careful around the table, place the model directly int he center of the table instead of near the sides, when getting onto the table people will support her when getting up and down.
Further comments: As the table is quite low and I am taking precautions for the model so she is less likely to injure herself the outcome of a big injury is unlikely, if however she does fall I will get first aid and call an ambulance if necessary.
Potential danger: The table could break
Potential outcomes: The model could get injured, possible broken bones
Actions to avoid potential outcomes: Test the table before the model gets on it to see how much weight the table can sustain, I will do this by placing a heavy object on the table and seeing if the table reacts in a good/bad way.
Further comments: In the past people have sat on the table and it has been fine so I'm sure it will be fine, however if any injuries do occur I will have a first aid kit and I can ring emergency services if necessary.
Potential danger: There are cables near to wear the model will be standing
Potential outcomes: The model could trip over on the cables and injure herself
Actions to avoid potential outcomes: Before I take the photographs or the model arrives I will move all of the wires, and I will remind the model that there are plugs near to where she is standing so to not go near that area
Further comments: This means the model will be no where near the plugs and wont trip over, the plugs are also located near the ground and my model will be standing which reduces potential risk
Potential danger: As it is on a drive, a car could drive past
Potential outcomes: The car could hit my model causing injury to him
Actions to avoid potential outcomes: The drive way is a private drive and so I will make sure everybody who is allowed access to the drive knows that I am taking pictures and tell them what day/time so they make sure they don't drive past. I will also put some cones up near to where I am taking the pictures so if there is another car that appears they will stop before they reach where I am taking the photograph
Further comments: The likeliness of a car hitting my model is slim as the drive is quite long and so they would see that I am taking photographs and would stop, cars usually drive very slowly up the drive anyway and so the risk inst very likely
Potential danger: The model could fall on the cobble road
Potential outcomes: The model could cause injury to himself
Actions to avoid potential outcomes: I will remind the model that the road is not very safe and this will help as he will be wary of falling over
Further comments: It is fairly unlikely the model will fall over as it is just a road, so the potential risk is minimal
