CONTROL MEASURES
Existing control measures taken
against the risk
1: Wires have been covered and
collected to minimise the amount of
wires exposed
2: Sturdy stands are in place to stop
the lights from falling
3:Backdrop is paper to minimise
the weight falling
4: Props are checked to make sure
that they are safe to use

*2 This is without control measures

F = fatal
Maj = major injury or permanent disability
Min = minor injury
NR = non-reportable

ACTION PLAN
What further control
measures are required when
and by whom
1: Letting the models know
about exposed wires in the
studio so they can watch out
2/3: Only let people who have
been taught to use the
equipment to alter anything
regarding them
4: Props are to be placed away
until they are used and then put
back again when they have
been used

*3 This is with control measures in place

Fr = frequent/likely/could occur repeatedly/expected
Pr = probable/not surprised/might occur often
Ps = possible/could occur sometime
R = remote/unlikely but conceivable
U = unlikely/improbable such that likelihood is almost zero
