Risk Assessment

When creating a film it's incredibly important to ensure that it's safe to film so I have created a risk assessment of both of my locations which includes the risks and possible solutions to try and make sure I keep everyone safe.
Below is a slideshare of my risk assessment.

Location
Risk
Solution




Field/bonfire
·      Burns from the fire
·      Slipping on the grass/mud
·      Falling over
·      Falling into the river/drowning
·      Twisting ankles

·      Tripping over equipment and props
·      Exposure to the elements
·      Exposure to the cold
·      Wild animals
·      Disrupting dog walkers
·      Polluting the field with litter
·      Going on private property

·      Keep everyone a set distance from the fire
·      Make sure everyone has appropriate footwear on and has access to a torch/lantern so they can see where they’re walking
·      Ensure everyone knows where the river is and can all swim
·      Make sure if people are uncomfortable they can move away from the fire
