This document provides a template for conducting a risk assessment for a film opening title sequence shoot. It lists some common hazards to consider, including accidents, hygiene issues, and slipping hazards. It provides a risk assessment chart to determine the risk level based on likelihood and consequences of each hazard. The risk assessment should then inform any further actions needed to improve safety.

1. FILM OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE SHOOT RISK ASSESSMENT
This document is intended as a basic template to assist in the completion of a risk assessment for film production activities.
Detailed information is available from a variety of risk management and risk assessment specialists. Useful information can also be obtained
from the Health & Safety Executive www.hse.gov.uk
When conducting a risk assessment, consider all the likely hazards; who may be harmed, property which may be damaged, and the controls
already in place. Then, for each likely hazard, bearing in mind the controls already in place, record the ‘risk assessment’ level. The further
action(s) to be considered will be determined by the level of risk assessment.
