My Real Thing - Risk Assessment

Dear Readers,

Filming is getting closer and my location and actors are set to go but before I can accomplish any of that I need to Risk Assess everything.

So here to start with is the general overview Risk Assessment:

Hazard	Persons /place who may be harmed	Risk controls already in place	Risk Assessment LOW, MODERATE, HIGH, EXTREME	Further action required to control risk
Cold weather	Actors and crew	All actors and crew to wear boots/ coats/ hats/ scarf’s  when out filming	HIGH	When not involved in the shoot, actors and crew to have the inside in which to stand
Up on the roof	Film crew	Ladders and safety requirements in place.	HIGH	Awareness to other actors and crew of film crews situation
Falling down stairs	Actors and crew Location	Enough light available to see stairs and wash them but been left to dry.	HIGH	Local ambulance on-call ready
Knife	Actors and crew	Warnings of danger and safety precautions in place such as having lots of crew in place to act with correct first aid skills.	VERY HIGH	Local ambulance on call ready.

Is there mobile ‘phone reception in the area? - Yes

How will you keep up to date with changes in the weather? - Yes

How will you be informed in changes of weather (snow)? - Yes

How easy is it for members of the emergency services to reach you? – Easily (bit of difficulty on my road)
