Risk Assessment For Equipment

EQUIPMENT	HAZARD	HOW MIGHT IT BE HARMED?	HOW WILL I PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING?	HAZARD RATING
LIGHTING	There is a risk of breaking the lighting equipment as we carry the lighting from location to location since we don’t have any other form of transport other than walking.	The lighting could break as the pole can snap if not handled properly. Also if dropped the glass may shatter which could enter someone’s eye.	To prevent it from breaking there will be two people holding the lighting and carrying it the locations so if there is a less likely chance of it being dropped.	4/5
TRIPOD	There is a risk of the tripod getting knocked over whilst filming and damaging the tripod along with the camera.	The tripod may be harmed because if you are placing the tripod in a classroom and near a door, when somebody enters the classroom they might unknowingly knock it down.	To prevent it from happening we will make sure there is a sign on the door in the classroom we film in to prevent people from accidentally entering.	3/5
DIGITAL CAMERA	One of us might end up dropping the camera on the floor whilst filming because our focus will be on the characters.	The camera may be harmed as the lens could break upon dropping. This could also cause us to lose any previous shots.	To prevent the hazard from taking place, the person in charge of filming must be careful at all times when filming with the camera and must be precautions.	5/5
Mic	There is a risk that the mic gets broken or damaged.	This risk can occur if somebody accidentally stamps on the mic and smashes it. This could also happen due to the rain.	To prevent this hazard from taking place whoever is using the mic needs to be careful and hold the mic properly. I it rains all equipment should be kept under shelter.	3/5
