Risk assessment

Introduction

In this blog post, I will discuss and highlight the risks and health and safety issues for our one minute single camera production.

Risk assessment

1. identify the hazards

The hazards that might be involved within the production of our media product are just minor injuries like tripping over wires and injuring on appliances. But no major harm and hazards will be a threat.

We are highlighting the main aspects that could bring harm to actors while we are filming our advertisement. The risks which may occur are;

• Trips and accidents could happen due to wires and obstructions from camera wires and other props
• The electrical equipment may over heat so we need to be aware of the temperature of the equipment
• We need to be aware of our backgrounds as they will be put up, ad they will be held up by stands, which means it will be unstable. We need to make sure that the backgrounds are secure and does not danger anyone.

2. decide who might be harmed

The people who may be harmed are the filming crew and the actors/actresses in the product.


3. Precautions and solutions

The precautions and solutions that we can do to ensure the safety of the people involved in the production of the film are making sure we follow safety procedures when handling goods, and putting up signs and informing people of any hazards which may occur.
