This risk assessment document identifies potential hazards for a student film shoot at an abandoned house. Hazards include tripping over loose carpet or long grass, cuts from broken glass inside or outside the house, trips from loose or broken slabs outside, and the potential for mirrors in a wardrobe to shatter during filming. Risks are assessed as negligible if proper precautions are taken, such as securing loose carpet, cleaning up glass, and stabilizing slabs. Handling a rifle and knife also require care, though the rifle will not be loaded, reducing its risk. With the identified control measures, the overall risks are deemed negligible to moderate.

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

Control measures
For each hazard, list the measures y ou will be taking to minimise
the risk identif ied
e.g. appointing competent persons, training received, planning,
use of personal protective equipment, provision of first aid, briefing
students etc.
Risk3
For each hazard, decide
lev el of risk once all y our
controls are in place
What further
action is
necessary?
Abandoned house Trip over carpet that is
just up from the floor.
Everyone Planning to put glue or something sticky
on the floor so the carpet gets stuck back
down.
Negligible None
Abandoned house Long grass out of the
front of the house,
could trip over.
Everyone Either cut the grass or make sure that the
actors are informed that there is long grass
outside.
Negligible None
Abandoned House Broken glass on the
floor, could cut
someone.
Everyone Clean up the glass before we start to film. Slight None
Abandoned House Slabs are broken
outside, could result in
someone tripping over.
Everyone Get rid of all the slabs which will help
minimise the risk and make sure that all
slabs are put right into the ground before
we start to film.
Slight None

3. House Wardrobe has glass
mirrors this could result
in them shattering.
Everyone Be careful when foiling the wardrobe
scene and shut and open it very carefully.
Negligible/ Slight None
Rifle No bullets will be in
gun but could fall and
hit the actor.
Everyone Be careful when handling the gun, there
will be no bullets inside the gun so it
means that it will not be loaded and cannot
be fired which will make it a lot more
safer.
Negligible/ Slight None
Knife The knife could
potentially cut
someone.
Everyone When handling the knife be very careful, I
will make sure that however is handling
the knife they will wear gloves or they will
just walk around with the knife and not
run.
Moderate None
