The risk assessment form identifies several hazards for a film shoot including tripping over equipment, camera damage from weather or misuse, losing equipment, using incorrect props, unauthorized filming locations, slippery conditions, public access to filming areas, windy weather, and actors arriving late or not showing up. Controls are provided to mitigate the risks, such as securing cables and equipment, protecting cameras, checking equipment regularly, preparing properly, selecting appropriate locations and times, wearing suitable footwear, securing tripods, and confirming actors' availability and meeting points.
