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

Risk Assessment For Location

LOCATION	HAZARD	WHO MIGHT BE HARMED AND HOW?	HOW WILL I PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING?	HAZARD RATING
GRAVE -YARD	- The area is surrounded by trees and bushes so we need to be precautious as we may trip over sticks or stones and get hurt whilst trying to film. - There can also be a hazard if the weather starts to change and it ends up raining because we would not be able to get clear shots and the fire would go out. - Since we are lighting a camp fire there may be health and safety hazards such as the stresses or film crew getting burnt.	- The person in charge of the camera may be harmed if they trip over anything as their focus will be on the camera and actors. - The equipment may be harmed because if it starts to rain the camera and microphone will get destroyed so they won’t work as well. - We might be harmed as well as our actors taking part. Moreover, the environment may be harmed if the campfire spreads and burns the wildlife.	- We will prevent any injuries by keeping a distance from the fire. Moreover, we will have a teacher assisting us while we are near the fire so there is a less chance we will get harmed as the teacher will take control and set up the campfire - To avoid this hazard from occurring we will be careful on where we step and walk around the area softly and carefully avoiding anything that could harm us or trip us up. - To prevent this hazard from occurring we will stop filming if it starts to rain and change our filming day to a dry day.	5/5
SCHOOL PLAYGRO -UND	- We might accidently capture another child from the school whom we don’t have permission to film. - There is a hazard risk associated with the children who are our actors as whilst they act out the bullying scene they might accidently get hurt whilst pushing each other around.	The child actors may be harmed as they might accidently hit each other whilst they are acting out the bullying scene and which could become quite serious.	To prevent it from happening we will make sure the children do not actually make any physical contact with each other so there is no violence and that they are only verbally bullying the charter of Naila	3/5
BEDROOM	- There is a hazard of spilling any water/drinks, this could fall on the equipment or on the floor causing people to slip. - Room may be too small for filming so people might be tripping over equipment and any props.	Our equipment may be harmed such as our prop of using a doll as if any liquid drops on the doll, it will get ruined and won’t be suitable to use no longer.	To prevent the hazard from happening, we will make sure before we film in the bedroom there will be no fizzy drinks or any sort of liquid that is able to spill in the bed covers removed from the scene and room.	4/5
CLASS - ROOM	- There is a risk of fire hazards in a classroom because if the plugs are not switched off or overloaded it can cause a fire which will be dangerous to film in a classroom full of children.	The children in the classroom as well as the teacher can be harmed and risk of any fire hazards.	To avoid this hazard from taking place we will remember to switch off any unnecessary plugs.	3/5
