Risk Assessment

In order to be able to film, we need to take into consideration a Risk Assessment, to ensure what could happen and cause harm throughout the filming of our Music video.

1. What could cause harm?
Whilst filming, someone could easily fall down the stairs, as their main focus will be on shooting the shot, to make sure the lighting and camera shot is in the correct position. As their main focus will be on this, they may become unaware of their surroundings.

2. What is the likelihood of this happening?
There is a very low risk of this taking place. However, it may accidentally happen, therefore we all need to be aware of our surroundings, to ensure no one is seriously injured.

3. Who and what could be harmed?
Any member of the group could easily be harmed throughout the process of filming. This could be done easily by tripping over a wire laying on the floor. Of course if any member of the group was to trip over a wire, with the camera in their hand, the camera would also be harmed, therefore causing damage and disruption to our filming schedule.

4. How much harm?
The amount of harm is very severe, ranging from either a cut of a bruise, to a broken limb. It is hard to tell what type of injury will be taken place, as it's hard to tell what harm will be caused, to either a member of the group of the camera.

5.Applying the following priorities, how will this risk be managed?
The risk will be managed by reducing or substituting.
