Photos

Photos from a workplace can be of great benefit to you and can also be used in workshops and in connection with the artefact model and workbook.

If you are at a workplace anyway to interview, observe, or hold a meeting, it is a good idea to ask permission to take some photos. How do you find out which photos to take? Here are different strategies:

1. Consider for yourself which photos may be relevant in acquiring a greater understanding of the OHS problem that is the object of focus. 2. Ask one or more employees which photos they would suggest that you take to highlight the OHS problem that is the object of focus. Here it may be relevant to remind the employees that photos can also be of documents, drawings, screenshots, message boards, objects, and the like. 3. You can ask an employee to take you through a workflow that he or she performs. Take photos of important situations and objects along the way. If, for example, the focus area is work positions, it is important to take photos where you can see an employee and not just photos of the workplace where poor work positions occur.

Tips If you already know that you need some photos for a workshop, it is a good idea to print them out in A4 or A3 format.
