Health and Safety

In the Studio:

Considering health and safety when working in the photography room is very important. It is a requirement that everyone is aware of the responsibilities while using the equipment in the room and around them. Everyone in the room should be cautious of cables and electrical objects in the studio as it can be a hazard that can result into a worse situation. Staying caution can help prevent any accidents or hazards from occurring. Always make sure that the fire door or emergency exit aren't blocked by anything as well as you knowing where they are in the room., this allows you to have a clear exit if you need to leave the room quickly, ensuring your safety.

Certain Criteria To Stick To In The Studio:

• Making sure that there are no cables or objects on the floor which could possible be a tripping hazard.
• Checking the equipment is hooked up properly with no lose wires or bulbs overheating. If anything did happen to the equipment it is important to alert a technician staff to help resolve the problem.
• The studio is a small room so due to COVID-19, only a certain amount of people are allowed in the room at once. It is required that masks are worn if you're not being the actual subject. Anyone else should wait outside of the room to ensure nobody else enters and makes the studio too crowded.
• No food or drink should be allowed in the studio, this prevents any damage done to the equipment that could have occurred from food or drink being spilt resulting in damaged objects.
• Make sure the studio is kept tidy as it is only a small space so keeping it as tidy as possible ensure more space for the equipment.
• Keeping an eye on the heating in the room, as well as the temperature of the lighting if they are on for a certain amount of time. This has to be checked because the studio isn't a very big room so it can heat up fast especially if a group of people are in their together. The actual lights can overheat or blow if they are on for too long, this can also be a hazard that could be avoid.
