Unit 1 - A2 - Risk Assessment

Risk assessment form

Having a risk assessment is vital to my group before and during film because this will help us to become aware of our surroundings when filming.This is why we made a risk assessment as it could prevent these hazards from occurring. 

Hazards	Risk rating (High, medium, low)	Controls
Trash	Medium	Because we will be filming at a public location people’s trash will be laying around. We need to be careful because if we don’t we could trip or even slip on someone’s trash making me or someone from my group hurt themselves.
Phones	Low	Before filming we have to make sure everyone’s phone are off as they can be very distracting cause us to waste time on filming. My group should put their phones in their bags and only use it for an important call or unless we are using the phone in our play.
Personnel belongings being kept safe and out of the way	Medium	When filming we need to make sure our bags are out of the way unless being used. We could easily trip.
Risk of actors/actresses falling on slippery surfaces	Medium	Because sometimes people did not clean up after themselves at the location we were at, we had to look around to see if the floor was clean
Risk of disturbance from members of the public	Low	Go to somewhere quiet so people won't disturb us and we won't disturb them.
Risk of traffic that is not part of the production causing noise	Low	Find a spot that is far from traffic so when filming it doesn’t interfere with our recording, unless needed.
