Health and Safety Concerns

Risk Assessment:

Risk	Threat	Severity	Actions to take
Vehicles whilst filming very close to a busy road in the town center.	Crew or cast member falling into the road and being hit by a vehicle.	High	We will ensure to maintain a 1metre gap between the road and the shot at all times.
Being distracted during the scenes inside the car.	Other road users misinterpreting the car which could lead to collision and angry drivers.	Medium	One member of the crew will be on constant lookout for cars and hazard warning lights will be used when other car users arrive. We will also film on a quiet road.
Falling over during the filming in dark scenes.	Tripping over during the night time shoots. This could lead to injuries such as cuts and potentially a broken bone.	Low	If the pavement isn’t clear, use the torch on your phone to make it clearer and avoid injury.

Before shooting, I created a risk assessment which encountered and dealt with the major health and safety concerns. There were many other issues that we needed to consider but these were the main three that I thought we needed a plan of action to avoid.
