This risk assessment covers the filming activities of Dark Arts Productions. It identifies potential hazards like cold environment, manual handling, slipping hazards, and more. Control measures are outlined to reduce risks, such as providing warm clothing, training in safe lifting techniques, clearing walkways, and monitoring weather conditions. The document also includes a risk matrix to help evaluate risk levels both before and after controls are implemented.
