This risk assessment form summarizes the hazards and control measures for filming a music video about a young adult who is popular within his dance group in Cambridge, England. It identifies two key activities: dancing which could lead to falling or tripping, and controlled by proper positioning, and holding a camera in a club which could lead to the camera being knocked out of hand or the cameraman being caught up in dancing, controlled by filming at a distance and dancers being aware of the camera. The risk levels after controls are low for dancing and medium for holding the camera.
