The document provides a risk assessment for filming at four different locations - Runswick Bay Beach, Colburn Business Park, QESFC Dance Studio, and Darlington. Some of the key risks identified include equipment damage from sand, water or weather; safety issues from proximity to roads, electricity or slippery surfaces; and filming people without consent. The risks will be addressed by measures such as checking tide times, using protective bags, scouting weather, controlling filming areas and shots, ensuring safe wiring and floors, and rescheduling shoots if needed.

1. Location Risk Assessment:
Runswick Bay Beach
Risk Why is it a risk? How will it be resolved?
The sea We will be filming near water
therefore there is a risk of
being caught by the tide or
falling in the water.
Make sure no one is
dangerously near the water
and check the times the tide
comes in before hand.
Sand Sand could get in the
equipment such as the
camera, lights and therefore
damage it.
Make sure the camera and
lights are in a bag and make
sure that no sand comes
into contact with the
equipment.
Bad weather Bad weather such as rain
could damage the
equipment.
Check the weather before
filming days and if bad, wait
before filming.
Public Members of the public could
get in the shot which would
mean them being filmed
without their consent.
Make sure filming only takes
place in locations that aren’t
busy and that if someone is
in shot stop filming.
Colburn Business Park
Risk Why is it a risk? How will it be resolved?
Cars Someone could get hit by a
car.
Make sure someone is
watching out for cars and
make sure all performers
and production team are not
in the road.
Public Filming people without their
consent
Make sure no one other
than the performers is in
shot before filming and if
someone walks into the
frame stop filming.
Using car lights as lighting If the engine is left on the
car could move
Make sure the handbrake is
on and that it can’t move.
QESFC Dance Studio

2. Risk Why is it a risk? How will it be resolved?
Lighting The electrics in the lights
could give someone an
electric shock.
Make sure all the lighting
equipment is safe to use
before turning it on and
ensure no water gets near
the electrics.
Equipment wires Production crew and
performers could trip over
the wires and fall.
Make sure the location of
the wires are safe and
known to everyone on set so
that they are not a hazard.
Flooring The floor could be slippery
especially if wet.
Make sure everyone is
wearing suitable footwear
and that there is nothing on
the floor such as water that
could make it a hazard.
Darlington
Risk Why is it a risk? How will it be resolved?
Cars Someone could get hit by a
car.
Make sure someone is
watching out for cars and
make sure all performers
and production team are not
in the road.
Bad weather Bad weather such as rain
could get into the equipment
and damage it.
Make sure the weather is
suitable before filming and if
not arrange a later date to
film.
Slippery ground If it has been raining the
floor could be dangerous as
someone could fall over
which could cause serious
injury.
Make sure that it is safe to
film in that location and if not
use a backup location or
rearrange the shooting date.
