Investigative Photography: Developing an Investigative Photography Program

摘要

If safety professionals and managers are going to use photography in safety and health program management or for investigative purposes then thoughtful consideration must be given to developing the appropriate policy and response capability. You must implement the elements of an investigative photography program, by evaluating your needs for camera equipment, film, photograph storage, and personnel training. Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations require employers to implement a number of programs in support of effective safety management. Photographs can be a valuable resource for the safety and health professional. A good, well thought out photography program can provide support for standard operating procedures and prevention strategies, hazard control or abatement, documenting accident experiences, and training. With current technology, photography can be easily used in desktop publishing to create a variety of advantages in communicating important information through a media, which is very learner friendly.
