Risk assessment

Risk assessment 

As a pair we have created a risk assessment which has enabled us to discover any possible risks whilst filming this weekend. Therefor by creating this table, we can ensure that all members of the group, actors and equipment are safe. 

Potential hazard	Who is at risk?	Risk rating out of 10 (1-minor & 10-major)	Likelihood Rating  (1-Not likely & 10-likely)	Preventative measures
Could trip over the equipment	Any of the production team could easily trip over the equipment, especially if focusing on filming a scene. This would also damage the equipment.	5/10. The severity of the injury would be fairly unpredictable.	8/10. It is highly likely that when filming, someone could not be looking at the floor and focusing on filming instead. Therefore, you could easily trip over.	To minimise the damage on equipment, our production team and actors, we will ensure that all wires/lose equipment are out of the way where possible, and when walking over the wires, that full attention is payed during any dangerous areas.
Sharp or broken debris	The production team plus the actors. Debris could include; broken glass or abandoned furniture etc. This could be a hazard as anyone could trip and possible sharp edges could be painful to walk into or fall onto.	6-7/10. Again, the severity of the injury would be fairly unpredictable.	4/10. It isn’t that likely that someone could be harmed by this, due to us avoiding all danger immediately.	Ensure that all debris is not accessible and if any sharp edges do pose as a threat, ensure the production team and actor know about it so that they can be cautious when filming in those areas.
Props could harm members if used irresponsibly	Any of the production team or actors, if they are behaving immaturely.	4/10.  The props could harm someone if used forcefully.	3/10. This hazard is fairly unlikely, due to all members being mature and responsible.	This will be prevented due to the actors and production team being mature, and if their behaviour does become immature, then the filming will be stopped and the person will be warned/removed.
