2. Risk matrix – use this to determine risk for
each hazard i.e. ‘how bad and how likely’
Likelihood of Harm
Severity of Harm
Remote
e.g. <1 in 1000 chance
Very unlikely
e.g. 1 in 200 chance
Unlikely
e.g. 1 in 50 chance
Possible
e.g. 1 in 10 chance
Likely
e.g. >1 in 3 chance
Negligible e.g. small bruise Trivial Trivial Trivial Low Low
Slight e.g. small cut, deep bruise Trivial Trivial Low Low Medium
Moderate e.g. deep cut, torn muscle Trivial Low Medium Medium High
Severe e.g. fracture, loss of consciousness Low Medium High High Extremely high
Very Severe e.g. death, permanent disability Low Medium High Extremely high Extremely high
Location Hazards2
List what could cause harm f rom this
activ ity
e.g. falls from height, trip hazard, fire,
etc.
Who exposed
List who might be harmed f rom this
activ ity
e.g. Employees, students,
contractors, public, etc.
Control measures
For each hazard, list the measures y ou will be taking to minimise
the risk identif ied
e.g. appointing competent persons, training received, planning,
use of personal protective equipment, provision of first aid, briefing
students etc.
Risk3
For each hazard, decide
lev el of risk once all y our
controls are in place
What further
action is
necessary?
March, Town
centre
 Trip hazard- on
the
pavements/road
surface
 Surrounding
vehicles
 The actors and
film crew could
be exposed to
this hazard
 Both actors and
crew members
will be affected
 To prevent tripping over we will
inspect other the surfaces before
filming, our actors and other crew
members will be warned about
uneven surfaces upon briefing
 When filming will use designated
crossings, and not film at peak
hours.
Trivial

of these
risks,
there is
no

action
needed
March, Costa  Spilling coffee

 Trip hazard,
could possibly
trip over an un-
tucked chair
 This hazard will
only effect actors
as they will be
the only ones
handling the
coffees
 Both actors and
crew members
will be affected
 To prevent spilling of hot drinks
we will be using cups with wide
base so that they are stable, we will
also be using a table with sturdy
legs so that the table doesn't move.
 We will make sure no actors or
crew member are running around
and also make sure that all chairs
are tucked in

have to sit on the
bench and have
 We will be using a bench that is in
good condition, and one that is
used regularly, insuring that has
adequate strength and that it's not
damaged in anyway.
Trivial  for this
risk
there is
no
further
action
