This risk assessment identifies hazards for an outdoor photography shoot in Manchester city centre. Hazards include changing weather, public traffic, and potential issues with the building location. For weather, the crew will take protective clothing and move indoors if necessary. For traffic, barriers will be set up and crew will cross roads safely. The building location was previously scouted to ensure no safety risks from leaks or disrepair. With controls in place, all risks are rated as low.
