Risk Assessment

Risk assessment

Our risk assessment will cover the potential hazards and precautions/actions when filming and preparing for our opening sequence of hostility:

*1 lowest risk rating - 5 highest risk rating*

Potential Hazard	Associated Risks	Precautions/Action	Risk Rating*
Strong winds or bad weather	Camera/tripod could fall or get damaged which could injure group members/actors	Film in better conditions perhaps on a different day	1
Broken branches on paths/filming scene	Actors/camera man could fall over or get injured	Remove all branches from the filming scene	2
Camera lens smashing	Could cut anyone within the filming scene	Be extra careful when using the camera	2
Cars/vehicles	Filming on a busy road could have loads of vehicles flying past	Avoid filming very close to the pavement, use non-busier roads.	4
Slippery ground	Group members or actors could slip and injure themselves	Make sure to film on firmer and dry grounds	3
