Risk Assessment

Risk assessments are essential when working, creating an event or doing a photography shoot. The responsibility lies within the owner of the company, and they can be prosecuted if they don't have safe working practises. The reason why risk assessments are carried out is to identify the risk and then put in place controls to minimise risks. E.g. if you have a trailing cable, you should put a mat over it and tape it down. In this country, the health and safety at work act was created in 1974, and now it has been updated in 2015.
