Risk Assessment

What are the hazards?
Who might be harmed and why?
What action if necessary?
How will you put the assessment into action?
Smashing glass bottles. (in our preparation for setting up a pub scene)
Anyone involved in filming or anyone around at the time.
You could cut yourself in the glass.
Be careful when handling them.
Make sure you do not hold too many at once.
Make everyone aware of this hazard of breaking glass.
Heavy duty filming equipment, e.g. cameras, tripod.
Actors, film crew.
The heavy equipment could fall on them and injure them.
Take care when handling equipment.
Make sure you are holding it correctly.
Make sure whoever is handling the equipment knows this.
Filming by road- traffic.
Actors, film crew or anyone around at the time.
Could get distracted and cause a road accident.
Check there is no traffic coming when crossing the road.
Be street-wise.
It is general knowledge, but make sure people are aware of the roads.
Filming in woodland areas
Actors, film crew.
The risks of falling branches or uneven ground.
Ensure the ground is safe and watch out for branches- especially in windy weather.  
Check the location before starting to film
The health and safety of the people involved.
The general health of the people. E.g. someone could be an asthma sufferer and require medication.
Check that if any should require medication- then they bring it with them.
Tell anyone involved, before we start filming, to check they have what they need.
Transport & Travel
Anyone involved. They could get lost or left behind.
Ensure that everyone has a safe way of getting to where they need to go.
Organise lifts and other means of transport beforehand.
