The actress and the

may slip up walking into
the houseif the weather
conditions are wet. This
could lead to injury.
I will not be filming in
the rain because this
could become
dangerous if someone
were to fall.
Additionally, the
weather conditions
would affect the way the
film looks
Check the weather

Kettle –
boiling
water
The actress may be
harmed during filming
when she is pouring
boiling water
The cast member is
awareof the tasks she
will be doing and is
responsible
Make surethat the
kettle isn’t filled to high
so it is easy to pour

Cup of tea The hot tea may spill as
the actress carries the
cup of tea to the table
which could burn her or
even slip her up
I have instructed the
actress to not fill the
mug completely in order
to make it easier for her
to carry it to the dining
table
Have the actress carry it
slowly

Lighting the
fire
The actress may burn
herself on the flame as
she throws the photo
onto the fire
The actress if over 18
and is sensibleenough
to be able to do this part
of the film. I have
warned her of the task
and sheis ok with doing
this.
To control this risk it is
important that during
the time of filming there
is water and other fire
safety equipment close
by in caseof emergency
