All photographers need to understand Health & Safety rules and should be capable of assessing and managing the risks and potential dangers associated with the use of electrical lighting, equipment and props. Photographers may be subject to physical stresses from carrying heavy camera equipment and lighting, indoors and out, in all seasons and all environmental conditions. They should therefore seek advice about appropriate techniques for lifting and moving equipment. There may also be a range of other risks specific to their area of work and they should seek suitable training in appropriate risk management procedures and best practice.
For me most important of all regulations for now perhaps is:
- looking well after my camera-(Do not let it get wet or overheat, do not drop it. Get it cleaned by professionals at least once a year.);
- look after myself when taking a shoot - (specially outdoors, when different whether conditions and different locations can provide various hazards).
As in a time when I will become more professional I will have to be more careful as I really looking forward to do travel photography and this means When you're traveling and wanting to take pictures, there are several things need to keep in mind at all times, and the main one - of course - is again own safety. Obviously, - camera is important too, but that can be replaced -Own safety is paramount - so need to be aware of surroundings.
When you're in a foreign country, or even somewhere in your own country that you don't know, you don't have the local knowledge to be aware of what's a bad or dangerous area. You might have gone out walking, looking for scenes that would make good pictures, and not given any thought to where you are. So need to keep alert, keep your senses sharp. You could be somewhere that will put you at the mercy of thieves, or possibly where you can be attacked by animals. Before you go out, ask some questions and do a little research! It could make a huge difference.

So in my opinion the best thing to mind a Health & Safety is by careful planning every shoot, before even consider to go somewhere to take photographs, be prepare for everything.
