Task 2; Risk assessment ^-^

There are a number of health and safety issues that need to be considered when doing different photography shoots, here are a few examples of issues that can be resolved :)

Painting with light; when doing painting with light, obviously you'll be in low lighting situations so you need to consider how safe your surroundings are, like is there anything that could be tripped over when doing the shoot, to resolve this you could check the area for obsticals and if there are any like wires tape then down or something, or give the person a torch to check their area out :)
You need to check that your tripod with your camera is sturdy to stop the factor of someone accidentally knocking it over or tripping up over it, same for any lighting. You should make sure that you're stood in a safe place, that there's no dangers of anything that's going to interupt your photography. When doing photography in a public place you should check out the safety of where you're standing for example not standing in a road to take a photo or blocking a foot path. When doing things like working on a computer editing a picture you need to make sure that the chair is the right height and the screen is at a comfortable position for you to sit in comfortably and not strain yourself, you also need to take regular breaks to look after your eyes when having to use a computer for long periods of time :)
You also need to make sure equipment doesn't block fire exits and that you don't leave cameras ect unattended for threat of theft.
You need to mop up any spills that have happened, or ban drinks and stuffs so that no spills are made that will damage equipment or give the posability that people might trip over.
