Health & Safety
There can be many things in the studio that could be a hazard, so you should know some rules about how to behave in a studio to prevent any accidents. Here are some rules that MUST be applied:
- Never leave the studio unattended
- Advise people about the possible hazards in the studio and show them where the things are.
- Make sure there is enough space provided for everyone to move around without a hazard. (Organize your amount of people before you start using the studio)
- Tripping: Ensure the lights/fittings are secure on the stands (camera stand,props,tripods,light stands). Ensure all cables are laid where they do not create a hazard. Use tape if this cannot be done.
- Hanging lights, soft boxes are also could be a tripping/collision hazard.
- Light: Flashlight is very strong and harsh and can damage the eyes, everyone should avoid unnecessary exposure to flash.
- Covers need to be removed before switching on the lamps and fittings should be attached prior.
- Heat: Flashlights/Tungsten lights become incredibly hot and could cause several burns. They should never be handled and when closing down allow them to cool first.
- Darkness: The low light presents a hazard in itself. Various props, wires, stands are less visible. Extra attention needs to be paid, taking an extra look around before making movements.
- At the end of a session all equipment should be safely put away.
+1 Set up lighting properly: 1. Studio stand 2. Flash head 3. Modifier (soft box)
Always have the eg. soft box pointing over a leg, so you put the weight of light over a leg and it's less chance to fall. Use bigger stand for bigger attachment.
