Risk assesment

A performer trips and brakes a bone. – In the case of an incident as serious as this there must be some form of plan, therefore all persons on the shoot will have mobile phones on them with charged batteries and efficient credit. If a bone is broken or someone is bleeding but it is within a safe limit, we will make our way back to my house as its only a 5 minute walk from location to my house. From there we will decide upon the best cause of action.

A dog attacks our actors or cameramen. – In this case we will request the owned control their dog, if the dog persists to be of a nuisance we will safely leave the set for a few minutes until the dog has passed, if the dog bites anyone we will immediately call 999 and tell them of the situation. We will then wait for their opinion on the matter and act from there.

A tripod or camera falls over braking the equipment. – In order to prevent this we will make sure that the camera is always on the tripod and always has the metal prongs sticking out the bottom of the legs. This will allow the tripod to be stable and bedded into the ground without chance of movement. Just to make sure nothing happens I will also ensure the tripod legs are level and when no one is attending the camera I will take if of the tripod and place it in its bag, then put it in a backpack and ensure no one is within the distance to steal any of the camera gear. In the case that someone does steal a camera I will immediately call 999.
