What types of risks may there be in a photoshoot?

Model may have epilepsy flash could cause an effect
Hanging light could fall on models head and injure them
Tripping over a wire and hurting yourself
Falling off a high place
Electrocution from liquids placed near wires and plugs

Risk- how great the chance is that someone will be harmed by the hazard
Hazard- Anything that could cause harm

Major- death or major illness
Serious- injury causing temporal disability
Slight- All other injuries or illnesses

High- Where the certain harm will occur
Medium- Where the harm will often occur
Low- Where a harm will barely occur

Risk= severity of harm x likelihood of occurrence this sum gives a risk value of 1 - 9
allowing comparison
1= high risk   9= low risk

What are the main hazards within the location of my photoshoot- Graffiti Wall 

- Chance of electrocution- power lines running over the wall
- Wall fatigue- It may crumble down

- I have all the required equipment to take my photos
- I can do this within the 1 week half term
