Risk Assessment:

Media – Risk Assessment – Joe Wright

Here is a risk assessment I have done before making my film.  This is useful to make me think about anything which might be a risk, and to think about what I can do to prevent them from happening.

Hazard	Person who may be harmed	Property which may be damaged	Risk controls already in place	Risk Assessment (LOW, MODERATE, HIGH and EXTREME)	Next action required to control risk
Falling branch	Actors and director	Camera, lens and  personal equipment (phones )	Look for a safe location in the forest with minimal chance of falling branches.	LOW	Wear helmets when not shooting and put equipment in  protective box
Trip over forest obstacles	Actors and director	Equipment that is being transported may be dameged if the person trips over	Look for a safe location in the forest with a clear floor	MODERATE	Wear protective footwear  and put equipment in  protective box for transport
Dog poo / mud / dirty hands / litter could lead to  Infections, cuts etc	Actors and director	Equipment could get dirty	Ensure hand cleaning before lunch and at end of session	MODERATE	Provide wet wipes and water
Other forest users eg vehicles, mountain bikes, horses, dogs this could lead to  Collision with pedestrians, Encounters with dogs	Actors and directors plus other forest users	Camera, lens and  personal equipment (phones )	Look for a quite area away from pathways	HIGH	Put up signs around the location
