Risk assessments

I had taken on the task to complete the risk assessments for each location that we are going to be filming in for our final production. These risk assessments state what hazard could occur in that location, the person or persons at risk, the likelihood of the hazard from 1-5, the severity of the hazard from 1-5 and the risk level from 1-5. It also states the measure that needs to be taken to control the risk, the person responsibly for controlling the risk and finally if the final risk level is acceptable so that we could still film in the chosen location. This document is important because it allows the actors and the production crew to see if there are any risks which could occur in each location, and this will then allow the production crew to decide whether these risks are too high and therefore we cannot film in the location. If we do continue to film in the chosen location it will allow the actors to see the risks which could occur and they would therefore be more careful and aware of these hazards occurring. These hazards include things like tripping over any wires left lying across the floor, or any chairs which have been left in the way. Also that we make sure that we put all of the equipment to one side so that no-body trips over it and injures themselves. As well as completing the risk assessment forms we would also have to ensure that the actors know the health and safety rules in each location so that they do not injure themselves or anyone else around them.
