This risk assessment document summarizes potential hazards for a music video shoot taking place at a nightclub. It identifies audiences/public, communication failure, and electricity as key risks. For audiences/public, the risk of fights breaking out due to alcohol is noted, and the plan is to reduce this risk by keeping actors and crew away from the main nightclub scene. For communication failure, the loud music could interfere with directions, so clear instructions will be given in advance. And for electricity, crew and actors will be warned to be careful of cables and equipment to avoid electric shock.
