Hold camera correctly or have a strap on it around your neck

Don’t block entrances and exits.

Leave bags and coats tucked in somewhere and wires not stretched out

One person at a time takes control of the camera

Location must be checked first as it could be slippy/high levelled

Fire exit signs are clearly visible

Keep the wires as close to the wall as possible and tuck bags in under things or place close to a wall

Wait for your turn to have the camera to take pictures
