Risk assesments

Risks involved in our planned filming:

Smashing glass / What potential hazard will be encountered? glass leaving shards around us which could be damaging around where we are working, glass getting into the lens of the camera, if the smashed glass is too close to the human shards may get into their skin.

How will these hazards be prevented? This will not be carried out, if it is we will shoot from a far range, we will lay down sheets around the area near where the glass will be shattered and throw from a far distance.

Bleeding nose / What potential hazard will be encountered? Dripping the blood into the actors nose in the wrong way will cause blockage or discomfort so we will have to be careful.

How will these hazards be prevented? We have decided to use food colouring instead of fake blood as this would be damaging to inhale or swallow where as food colouring will not be.

Traffic shots / filming near the road What potential hazard will be encountered? Falling into the road, dropping our equipment into the road is dangerous wherever but especially on a hazardous road in London.

How will these hazards be prevented? We will be cautious at when we use the road, standing where the cars can not go and during non peak times will lower the hazard. Also being careful that the camera is securely fixed to the tripod so it will not fall off

Cracking mirrors What potential hazard will be encountered? Again when mirror smashes the pieces left are extremely sharp and dangerous, these could be hazardous to any one of the group and mainly the actor.

How will these hazards be prevented? This will not be carried out.

Filming Deer in Richmond Park What potential hazard will be encountered? Animals are extremely unpredictable and getting too close we could be in danger of anything

How will these hazards be prevented? Staying well back! Using a zoom.
