Risk Assessments & Shooting Logs

Risk Assessment

 Before filming anything you will need to fill in a risk assessment form.

➤The form consists of

➤hazard references

➤hard descriptions

➤people at risk

➤initials assessment

➤control measures

➤residual risks

➤and actions / comments

All of these boxes need to be filled in, going into detail in all of these are crutial and you will need to think of every hazard possible even if it sounds silly.

→Firstly, you will look at the hazard identification reference and chose which letter relates most to what you're doing.
→For example I chose to film at a swimming pool so the reference box I would have chosen in ( m ) which is other.
→Next you'll need to fill in the hazard description box. For this you'll have to think of every hazard possible and list them al down the boxes as every hazard is important.
I said that drowning in the swimming pool will be deemed as a hazard.
→Then it asks you to note the people who will be at risk, so in the case the majority of people on poolside will be at risk. However more detail is needed than just 'everyone'. 'The director. actors, camera people and spectators' would be more suitable as its less brief.
and fill in the boxes so on and so forth

this is an example of a similar looking risk assessment form to the ones we have to fill out
