1. What are the Hazards? Who might be harmed and
how?
What are you already
doing?
What further action is
necessary?
How will you put the
assessment into action?
Roots in the ground in
the woods
Caleb and the camera crew -
we could trip over the roots in
the ground and hurt
ourselves.
Checking the ground around
us for any roots that could
possibly trip us up.
Moving from the area of which
a root that we cannot remove
or ignore.
Telling the camera crew
where they will find the roots
that stick out and making sure
they can move around the
obstacle.
Branches above us and
around us in the woods
Caleb and the camera crew -
the branches around and
above us could either fall on
us, or they could hit us in the
face, causing injury.
Checking around the area for
any branches that could
possibly fall or branches that
could hurt us.
Moving from the area where
getting hit by a branch is
difficult/ruins the flow of the
video.
Telling the camera crew
where they will find the
branches that cause
disruption and making sure
they can move around the
obstacle.
Nettles can sting us if we
are not careful
Caleb and the camera crew -
the branches around and
above us could either fall on
us, or they could hit us in the
face, causing injury.
Moving from the areas which
nettles reside and working
around the nettles.
Moving from the area where
nettles are located and
working around them.
Making sure the camera crew
does not go into the nettles by
going far away from the area
with nettles.
The ground could be
muddy if it has rained.
Caleb and the camera crew -
if it is muddy, not only will it
ruin the scene, we can slip
and hurt ourselves by falling.
Weather forecasts and
wearing firm grip shoes can
solve half of the problem.
Waiting until another day for
the ground to have hardened.
Making sure a consent form
for health and safety is
signed, as well as contact
forms - also check of
clothing&footwear
Rain If it is raining, it makes the
ground slippery and also it
can give you hypothermia if
you spend too long outside.
Wearing appropriate clothing
and appropriate footwear for
the type of day.
Waiting until another day for
the ground to have hardened
and the weather to have
picked up.
Checking clothing & footwear
choice of the camera crew
and deciding whether it is
acceptable for the day.
