The risk assessment outlines the hazards, control measures, and risk levels associated with filming a documentary over 5 days in March 2022 at a photography/film studio on the Bede campus. Potential hazards include hot environment, trip hazards from lighting equipment cables, and electric shock. Control measures such as opening doors for airflow, taping cables to the floor, and keeping liquids away from electrical equipment aim to reduce the risks.

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

Hot Envoirment Cameraman/Interview er
Interview ees
Unlikely Use the correct defuzzier to reduce the amount heat and light projection that comes out the
lamp.
Keeping the studio door w ide open w hen video shooting is not currently taking place at the
present time to help w ith better air flow
Provide the cast, crew and everybodyplenty of fluids e.g., w ater etc to keep them hydrated
trivial
Trip Hazards
Cameraman/Interview er
Interview ees
possible Tape all of the lighting equipment cables to the floor w ith strong tape, so they don’t move
around and less annoying to avoid
Low
Electric Shock Cameraman Remote Make sure any kind of liquid capsules are w ellaw ayfromany electricalequipment during
