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

Activity1
– Each individual activity you are proposing: Location – w here this activity willtake place:
TV & film studio, Bede Campus, Durham Rd, Sunderland SR3 4AH
Dates / times:
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. staff, contractors,
contributors, public, etc.
Risk3
For each hazard, decide
lev el of risk as if y ou were to
do the activ ity without y our
controls
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 and rehearsals, use of personal protective
equipment, provision of first aid, etc.
Risk3
For each hazard,
decide lev el of risk
once all y our controls
are in place
Manual Handling Team members
Client
Moderate possible Carrying of equipment such as tripods, cameras, barbering chairs and mannequins. Any
lifters should use proper manual handling technique, i.e. not tw isting back, bending at knees
not backetc.
Moderate unlikely
Sharp Object/Material Team members
Client
Slight possible Use of scissorsand shaverswhilst carrying out haircut, only Mr Sow erby(client) to use this
equipment as he has received the necessary training to use them professionally.
Slight unlikely
Trip Hazard Team members
Client
Negligible possible Make visitors aw are of loose wires and the small platformin front of the backdrop and
greenscreens.
Negligible unlikely
Electric shock Client
Subject
Slight Unlikely Use of electric razors whilst carrying out haircut. Ensure any plugs or batteries are safe to
use and w ont pose a riskto the users- e.g. ensure plug sockets aren’t loose, and batteries
aren’t leaking.
Slight Very unlikely
Noise Surrounding classrooms
(college students)
Negligible possible Minimal disturbance to surrounding classrooms whilst doing the haircut (e.g. team members
talking and some noise fromrazors). Ensure no unnecessarily loud noises are made.
Negligible unlikely
Management factors (lackof
communication)
Team members
Client
Negligible Likely Risk of lack of communication betw een teammembers and the client. To counteract any
confusion, ensure roles are divided up before the session and that any directors are confident
in leading the shoot.

Allergic Reaction Sophie Gibson (Team
Member)
Negligible unlikely Small riskof hayfever, but minimal as not w orking around grass/animals. Negligible unlikely
Litter Students (fromfuture
classes using room)
Negligible likely Hair fromthe mannequin/subject from w hen the haircut is being carried out. To counteract
this ensure that any mess is either sw ept up or a protective sheet is put underneath.
Negligible very
unlikely
Continue on separate sheet if necessary
