co-operation, co-ordination and competence)
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

Risk Assessment Form – Part B
Activity1
– Each individual activity you are proposing: Location – where this activity will take place: Dates / times:
Hazards2
List what could cause harm from this activity
e.g. falls from height, trip hazard, fire, etc.
Who exposed
List who might be harmed
from this activity
e.g. staff, contractors,
contributors, public, etc.
Risk3
For each hazard, decide
level of risk as if you were to
do the activity without your
controls
Control measures
For each hazard, list the measures you will be taking to minimise the risk identified
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 level of risk
once all your controls
are in place
Stroboscopic light Me being the film crew,
and anyone else who
was there
Likely As this is a concert there is always a lot of lights and effects that are happening on stage
through out the show. This means that this measure cannot be controlled as the stage had
already been prepared by Yungblud, his crew and the stage crew, and for the support act
which in this case was Neck Deep, so the effects and lights can do a certain movement for
each song. The way you could prevent this from effecting you if you get sensitive is by not
looking at the stage for a long time when the lights are being shown. A second alternative
could be if you are filming clips, you could watch the concert through your phone or camera
screen which means that the glare of the lights wouldn’t be as strong.
Likely
Hot environment
Me being the film crew,
and anyone else who
was there
Likely As the concert has loads of people it means that the Arena would get hot quickly. This
happens and can be worse when you’re on the floor instead of being in seats. The way you
can prevented this is by not having layers of clothing on as it means you would have to put
your coat for example on the seat which could still make you warm. Another way is by always
having a cold drink on you. The reason for this is having a drink will make you hydrated and
you would be less likely to faint.
likely
Slippery surface Me being the film crew,
and anyone else who
was there
Likely As any type of drinks is allowed in the Arena whether that is being at your seat, on the floor or
when you first walk into the arena, you could be expose to drink spillages straight away. The
way you could prevent this is by watching where you are walking, make sure you have a lid
on your drinks if it is provided by the kiosk server and make sure you are holding your drink
straight so it’s not spilling on the floor.
Likely
Noise Me being the film crew,
and anyone else who
was there
Likely There are loads of different noises during the concert, this could be them singing, different
instruments, sound effects, the crowd singing or talking and noises that could come from
different stage props. As in this situation it is hard to prevent noise as it is a concert. The way
you could prevent loud noises is by putting ear plugs into your ears, this way you would be
able to hear the concert, but the loudness would be less.
Likely
Litter Me being the film crew,
and anyone else who
was there
possible During the end of the concert there could be a lot of litter. This amount of litter could cause
slips, falls and trips. This means that exiting the concert you would have to watch where you
are walking (like “slippery surface”) so you don’t fall or trip over some litter. The way you
could also prevent yourself and others around you from tripping or falling over litter is by
making sure you pick up all your litter and putting it in the nearest bin.
