MAIN RISKS IDENTIFIED. Write the hazard in the box below followed by a (H) High, (M) Medium or (L) based on how big the hazard is to your production.
EXISTING & ADDITIONAL CONTROLS TO MANAGE RISKS.Explain below for each of the risks how you are going to make sure they do not become an issue for you when filming.
Final risk level is acceptable?
1 Restricted or blocked access. When filming I am going to ensure that I don’t film in any restricted areas because I don’t want to put any of my cast or crew in danger in case there is any broken glass or other sharp objects.
Yes

receiving attention that we don’t encounter those animals or insects. Yes

bricks or other parts of the buildings and If possible I will try to avoid the derelict buildings or structures. Yes

other supplies depending on the weather forecasted. Yes
31Recording or shooting outside of the studio. When I am recording outside of the studio location I will make sure that everyone knows we will be shooting outside of the
studio and then hopefully there will be less casualties than there would’ve been if I hadn't told them Yes
