Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is to prove that we thought about what the risks are during filming which could injure us. It also includes what can be done to prevent and minimise the effect of one of us being injured. We thought of the main hazards which is liable to occur and can possibly have health risks.
                                                                         


Risk
Management
Tripping/walking into tripod
Watch out where the tripod is placed on the floor. Have the tripod in a safe position with space so it is not in the way for our production crew.
Slipping
Be careful where you are walking into during the filming e.g. artificial blood while placed on the floor. Depending on how hard the surface is, this could can cause harm and injury to a member of the crew.
Tripping over shoelaces
Having untied laces can increases the chances of slipping or tripping which can cause harm if they do. Make sure shoelaces are tied before filming.
Traffic
Look at the roads before and during filming because this can caused serious injury or even death if being hit by a moving vehicle.    
Obstructing roads when filming outside
Check there are no oncoming vehicles when filming
Filming on private property
Look for signs stating that it is private property/getting permission from land owners.
Walking into props/objects
Be careful where you are walking and make sure there are no obstructions. If the prop is dangerous e.g. hacksaw, then this can caused serious harm.
Weather
Be aware of the weather and choose carefully about when we are filming. If there are strong winds then this can result in damaged equipment and the loss of scripts/storyboards. Rain can cause damage to electrical equipment so if it rains then make sure it is protected.
Sharp objects on the floor (Nail/broken glass)
Look around your surroundings and watch out for sharp objects which can harm our crew. It will most likely result in having to go to hospital.
Walking/running into walls/doorframes
Look out where you are walking/running. Running into a wall/doorframe may cause harm to you.
