Outline of risk assessment

In this assessment I have outlined the risks of one of the locations we will be suing to shoot our film and the
risks of the equipment we will be using and how we will ensure that everyone is safe while on set.

Summary of what is proposed in

terms of sequences and set ups.

Hazards2

Location 66 Springfirleds, Wigton, Cumbria, CA7 9JS

Risk3

Who exposed

For each hazard, decide

level of risk as if you were
to do the activity without
your controls

Control measures

List what could cause harm from this activity

e.g. falls from height, trip hazard, fire, etc.

List who might be harmed

from this activity
e.g. staff, contractors,
contributors, public, etc.

For each hazard, list the measures you will be taking to minimise the risk identified
e.g. appointing competent persons, training received, planning and rehearsals, use of personal protective
equipment, provision of first aid, etc.

Assault by person

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Trivial

The likelihood of this happening is rather low. However, to prevent this from happening, if
somebody tries to be hostile towards any of the people helping with my shoot, I will pass it on
to higher authorities.

Attack by animal

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Trivial

The likelihood of this happening is rather low. However, to prevent this from happening, if we
come into contact with a hostile animal we will get away from it and be cautious.

Cold environment

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Medium

To prevent anyone from being too cold in this environment I will ensure to tell everyone to
bring warm clothes to wear on set.

Hot environment

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Low

Despite this being less of a possibility than encountering a cold environment (due to the time
of year) I will ensure to have water on hand to ensure people dont get too dehydrated or hot
from the environment.

Manual handling

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Low

Manual handling shouldnt be too much of a problem as I have enough people to help me
that we can carry all of the equipment safely.

Object falling, moving or flying

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Trivial

This has a rather low level of risk of happening. However, the only way I can think of
preventing or reducing this is to make sure everybody is observant.

Trip hazard

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Low

There will be a tripping hazard due to the wires involved with the equipment and therefore, I
will make sure to keep the wires neat to make sure nobody trips over them.

Vehicle impact / collision

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Trivial

The risk of this happening will be very low. However, to reduce the risk of this happening, I
will make sure to have our equipment sorted and know where we are going to make sure
were safe around the roads.

Noise

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Medium

Noise is inevitable due to this location being a public one. However, to reduce the risk of
noise affecting the project, I will make sure we do not film too close to the road.

Physical fatigue

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Low

The risk of physical fatigue will always be there as film making includes a lot of repetition.
Therefore, to ensure everyone is not fatigued I will make sure to have breaks and some food
and drink on standby during the shooting days to make sure nobody is too fatigued.

Repetitive action

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Low

There will be a lot of repetitive action in making my film. Therefore, there will be breaks
during the shooting days to make sure nobody is fatigued by the repetitive actions that will
need to be done.

Static body posture

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Low

This risk will only apply mainly to the boom pole/sound operator and camera operator. The
reason being, that they are the ones who will have to keep their posture to ensure that the
best quality recording of my film is created.

Stress / anxiety

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Low

When creating a project, stress and anxiety is inevitable. Therefore, I will be making sure that
everyone has breaks during the shooting days to ensure that nobody becomes too stressed.

Litter

Megan E Telford, Ian

Telford, Helen Telford,

Low

Due to this location being a public one, there is likely to be litter. Therefore, to make sure this
doesnt disrupt our filming I will ensure that we film in a clean area.
