This risk assessment form details hazards for a film shoot location on Wolstonbury Hill. It identifies risks such as horses on a nearby bridleway that could be spooked by noise, loose terrain that could cause tripping, and low tree branches that could hit camera operators or actors. Controls are outlined like minimizing noise near horses, checking surfaces and paths are clear, and ensuring the stability of any ropes or structures used. The form also notes the potential to disturb walkers on public footpaths and the need to check the area is clear before filming and place signs.
