This risk assessment document outlines hazards and control measures for a student film project. It lists Gabbi Warne, Millie Longford, Jamie Edge, and Josh Shelley as team members who will be filming scenes at Castlefield House, Reigate High Street, Rushworth Road, and Chart House. Potential hazards identified include attack from chickens, allergic reactions, hot environment in a shed, trip hazards, lightning strike, venom poisoning from snakes, litter, noise disturbing the public, and more. The document assigns a risk level to each hazard and proposes control measures to reduce the risks.

Outline​ ​of​ ​risk​ ​assessment
Summary​ ​of​ ​what​ ​is​ ​proposed​ ​in
terms​ ​of​ ​sequences​ ​and​ ​set​ ​ups.
List​ ​who​ ​might​ ​be​ ​harmed
from​ ​this​ ​activity
e.g.​ ​staff,​ ​student,​ ​public,​ ​etc.
For​ ​each​ ​hazard,​ ​decide
level​ ​of​ ​risk
i.e.​ ​​if​ ​you​ ​were​ ​to​ ​do​ ​the
activity​ ​without​ ​your​ ​controls
List​ ​the​ ​measures​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be​ ​taking​ ​to
minimise​ ​the​ ​risk​ ​identified
e.g.​ ​moving​ ​trip​ ​obstacles,​ ​allocate
responsibility​ ​for​ ​equipment,​ ​film​ ​away​ ​from
traffic,​ ​have​ ​bottled​ ​water​ ​etc.
Attack​ ​on​ ​human​ ​from
chickens​ ​-​ ​​When​ ​out​ ​on​ ​location
recce​ ​there​ ​were​ ​chickens
roaming​ ​free​ ​in​ ​the​ ​area.
Crew​ ​Members Trivial​ ​-​ ​(Slight​ ​harm​ ​and
unlikely​ ​occurrence)
Will​ ​ask​ ​the​ ​landowner​ ​to​ ​put​ ​away​ ​chickens​ ​in
their​ ​pen.
Allergic​ ​Reaction​ ​-​ ​​To​ ​fake
blood​ ​or​ ​hayfever
Crew​ ​Members Medium​ ​-​ ​(Severe​ ​harm​ ​and
very​ ​unlikely​ ​occurrence)
Ask​ ​about​ ​any​ ​known​ ​allergies,​ ​Epi​ ​pens​ ​and
medication.​ ​Avoid​ ​fields​ ​of​ ​long​ ​grass
Hot​ ​Environment​ ​-​ ​​Shed​ ​has
limited​ ​ventilation​ ​depending​ ​on
weather,​ ​temperatures​ ​can​ ​be
high​ ​inside.
Crew​ ​Members Low​ ​-​ ​(Moderate​ ​harm​ ​and
very​ ​unlikely​ ​occurrence)
Open​ ​doors​ ​to​ ​allow​ ​ventilation​ ​and​ ​drink
plenty​ ​of​ ​water​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​dehydration.
Trip​ ​Hazard​ ​-​ ​​Tripod​ ​etc.​ ​may
cause​ ​trip​ ​hazard​ ​and​ ​compost
heap​ ​has​ ​branches​ ​etc.​ ​on​ ​it
Crew​ ​Member​ ​and​ ​Public Low​ ​-​ ​(Slight​ ​harm​ ​and
possible​ ​occurrence​ ​)
Wear​ ​high​ ​vis​ ​and​ ​alert​ ​public​ ​to​ ​hazards.
Remove​ ​any​ ​trip​ ​hazards​ ​where​ ​possible
Lightning​ ​Strike​ ​-​ ​​It​ ​is​ ​weather
dependant
Everyone Low​ ​-​ ​(Very​ ​severe​ ​harm​ ​and
remote​ ​occurrence)
Do​ ​not​ ​go​ ​near​ ​wooded​ ​areas​ ​during​ ​storm​ ​or
hold​ ​metal​ ​tripod​ ​up​ ​high
Venom​ ​Poisoning​ ​-​ ​​Snakes​ ​are
known​ ​to​ ​hide​ ​in​ ​compost​ ​heaps
and​ ​may​ ​strike​ ​if​ ​agitated
Crew​ ​Members Medium​ ​-​ ​(Very​ ​severe​ ​harm
and​ ​very​ ​unlikely​ ​occurrence)
Check​ ​area​ ​for​ ​snakes​ ​and​ ​do​ ​not​ ​disturb​ ​the
compost​ ​heap​ ​too​ ​much
Litter​ ​-​ ​​Litter​ ​may​ ​be​ ​left​ ​and
cause​ ​harm​ ​to​ ​animals
Animals​ ​and​ ​Environment Medium​ ​-​ ​(Likely​ ​and​ ​slight
harm)
Place​ ​all​ ​rubbish​ ​in​ ​the​ ​bin​ ​and​ ​check​ ​areas
after​ ​use​ ​for​ ​litter

2. Public​ ​Disturbance​ ​-​ ​​Noise​ ​and
acting​ ​may​ ​cause​ ​distress​ ​to
public
Public Trivial​ ​-​ ​(Negligible​ ​harm​ ​and
unlikely​ ​occurrence)
Wear​ ​high​ ​vis​ ​to​ ​alert​ ​to​ ​public​ ​to​ ​filming
occurring​ ​and​ ​keep​ ​to​ ​noise​ ​to​ ​the​ ​minimum
