Activity1 Each individual activity you are proposing:

Location where this activity will take place:

Dates / times:

Hazards2List what could cause harm from this activity

e.g. falls from height, trip hazard, fire, etc.Who exposed

List who might be harmed from this activity

e.g. staff, contractors, contributors, public, etc.Risk3For each hazard, decide level of risk as if you were to do the activity without your controlsControl measures

For each hazard, list the measures you will be taking to minimise the risk identified

e.g. appointing competent persons, training received, planning and rehearsals, use of personal protective equipment, provision of first aid, etc.Risk3For each hazard, decide level of risk once all your controls are in place

CablesLibrarians, crew, public, reporter and interviewee(s)Trip overWe will have a cable basher to make sure cables arent on the floor

Electricity

Crew, librarian, public, reporter, interviewee(s)ElectrocutedMake sure not all plugs are plugged in the same area

Manual handling

CrewDropping equipment/breakingMake sure that we have a cable basher to hold leads around the camera operator, so that he doesnt drop the camera, from tripping over.

Objects falling

CrewEquipment breakingMake sure to bring extension lead, so that wires are flat on ground, also tape wires to the floor.

Management Factors

Crew, intervieweeLack of communicationMake sure crew are assigned roles and understand what to do. Also have a run through with interviewee so that they know what they are doing.
