Hazards Risk Assessment

Hazard

Solution

Risk Factor

Whilst filming, we use a

glass bottle prop, in the
unlikely event of the
glass breaking; this
could be hazardous to
the people near by as
well as the
environment. Broken
glass penetrating
someones skin or eye
could be very harmful,
whilst having broken
glass left in the area
could harm near by
wildlife as well as
others who may be
passing.
Another prop that could
be hazardous, is the
lighter we use during
the production. In the
unlikely event of
someone being burnt or
a fire spreading, it
could cause bodily
harm, as well harm to
nearby nature.

In order to prevent this, we

could ensure the bottle is
handled with care and
maturity. Placing the bottle
within a bag in-between
takes and ensuring we do
not leave it anywhere it
could be knocked, or fall
from a height.

In order to prevent any

accidents occurring
through misuse of the
lighter, all members of the
group can ensure the
lighter is used responsibly
and only for the scenes it
is featured in.

Why was it rated this

link factor?
I have given this a risk
factor of 4 because if an
injury was to be sustained
through the bottle, it could
cause serious harm.

I rate this risk a 2 simply

because of the unlikeliness
of any harm or injury
occurring from the lighter.

For one of our scenes,

we shoot in a narrow
alley way. Due to all the
human and animal
waste, broken glass,
and even needles that
we found there, this
environment is
hazardous. Many
injuries or illnesses
could occur from this
harmful environment
and a lot of care has to
be taken whilst filming.

To prevent any illness or

injury whilst filming in this
space, each group
member/actor should be
responsible for themselves
and carry themselves
cautiously whilst there: this
means avoiding sitting on
the floor or any surfaces in
the alley, not eating or
drinking whilst in the alley,
and ensure we act
responsibly to avoid any
accidents through foolish
behaviour.

Due to the high number of

hazardous things within
the alley, I have given this
risk the highest rating as a
numerous of injuries could
occur, as well as there
being the possibility of
someone falling very sick.

One of our scenes

entailed our actress
smoking a fake joint,
made with herbal tea.
Although the substance
was not a drug, any
kind of smoking can be
harmful to your health.
As well as this; if done
wrong, smoking the
herbal tea could have
burnt the actresses lip,
or body part if not

In order to prevent any

mishaps, the actress could
practice her safe smoking
techniques in a controlled
environment to ensure she
does not begin filming
blind.

I rated this lowest possible

risk factor because of the
unlikeliness of any harm
being obtained this way.

handled correctly. There

is also the possibility of
it starting a fire, if not
put out properly.

During one of our

scenes, our actress sits
under a running shower,
fully clothed. This could
be hazardous in that
our actress could slip or
fall whilst manoeuvring
in and out of the
shower.

In order to prevent this, we

should ensure safety
measures are taken such
as having a slip resistant
matt in the shower, as well
as mat to step onto when
exiting the shower, to
lessen the chance of
slipping.

I rated this risk factor of 3,

as it could cause serious
injury but with the correct
safety procurations being
taken, it is easily
preventable.

For one of our scenes,

we will need to travel
via train to get to our
disclosed location.
During our travels we
will be carrying with us
expensive filming
equipment that could
make us vulnerable as
targets of theft or a
robbery.

In order to protect the

equipment as well as
ourselves as much as
possible, we should ensure
we keep all equipment
within the bags and on a
person at all times. We
should also ensure that we
do not leave any
equipment unattended to
during filming.

I rated this a low risk factor

as it can prevented as long
as the necessary care is
taken
