01-G-002

Camera cables create ever-changing trip hazard if camera is moved during use Trim weights used on cameras are lead weights, specific for different units. Incorrect weight was seen on one camera (this one was intended for the boom balance box); could fall and injure feet Camera slides onto pedestal and is then locked on, could fall back out if not locked in properly

Assistant is used (“cable basher”) to deal with the cable if camera is to be moved Good housekeeping and general competence of staff is evident

Regular workplace inspections should be made; this could be included Ensure work of students is checked

Care and experience in use Students excluded from operations Students warned about the hazard Always remove lens before changing camera Minumum 4 people to hold pedestal No students involved Avoid need for operation Pan brake is left off where possible so that camera “gives”

N

~

When fully tilted, camera has access to serious trap hazard around the pivot Camera and lens are heavy objects, both needing to be changed. Lens may be ~15kg, so combined weight is excessive. When replacing pan & tilt head, pedestal must be extended with no weight on it. Danger from pressure within: pedestal could shoot up with great force causing serious injury, e.g. the circular handle could strike one’s chin as it comes up. Pedestal is held down by 4 people for this People in area could walk into camera

N N 3

(No physical protection is practicable; all cameras share this hazard) ~ No engineering, design or other physical solution can be identified by users. Monitor new developments for solution
