risk assessment

i was thinking about a risk assessment the other week.. do i need one?
i can't really see any risks though unless i eat a battery or something or get electrocuted by my laptop when plugging it in.


thus,
there are no risks associated with my experiment as far as i can tell.

method

method for battery testing is as follows:

1. set up appropriate digital camera with two new AA batteries of the same brand.
2. change camera settings to a standard resolution, flash on, automatic photo function.
3. take photos in room with medium light until the battery dies in the camera.
4. upload photos onto computer and see how many photos have been taken in the life span of the batteries.
5. record results.
6. repeat experiment using the following battery brands: Duracell, Eveready and Home Brand.
7. repeat experiment but mix up camera settings eg. flash off, black and white, high or low resolution. note experiment must be completed with same settings using all three battery brands. batteries must always be brand new and of the same brand.

i think that shall be good?
havent got batteries yet, shall try sometime this week :)
