The students, my model, members of the staff or myself can be harmed in this case due to the wet floor, which can lead to serious injuries.

This risk can be minimized by reminding everyone to be careful or to have a sign up, so people are aware that expensive equipment has been set out in the direction they are heading.

This risk can be minimized by ensuring that there is a yellow ‘Slip Hazard Sign’ if the floor has been mopped prior to filming. Also, a verbal warning to ensure that my model is dressed appropriately.
