This risk assessment form details the production of a visual effect to make Ellis walk on water for a project at Sunderland College, identifying potential hazards such as slippery surfaces, trip hazards, and objects moving or flying that could harm Ellis, and proposing control measures like clearing the floor and making Ellis comfortable to minimize risks. The locations involved are the media hub and dates are from March 9th to April 13th 2020.

Risk matrix – use this to determine risk for
each hazard i.e. ‘how bad and how likely’ Likelihood of Harm
Severity of Harm
Remote
e.g. <1 in 1000 chance
Very unlikely
e.g. 1 in 200 chance
Unlikely
e.g. 1 in 50 chance
Possible
e.g. 1 in 10 chance
Likely
e.g. >1 in 3 chance
Negligible e.g. small bruise Trivial Trivial Trivial Low Low
Slight e.g. small cut, deep bruise Trivial Trivial Low Low Medium
Moderate e.g. deep cut, torn muscle Trivial Low Medium Medium High
Severe e.g. fracture, loss of consciousness Low Medium High High Extremely high
Very Severe e.g. death, permanent disability Low Medium High Extremely high Extremely high

Hazards2
List what could cause harm f rom this activ ity
e.g. falls from height, trip hazard, fire, etc.
Who exposed
List who might be harmed
f rom this activ ity
e.g. staff, contractors,
contributors, public, etc.
Risk3
For each hazard, decide
lev el of risk as if y ou were to
do the activ ity without y our
controls
Control measures
For each hazard, list the measures y ou will be taking to minimise the risk identif ied
e.g. appointing competent persons, training received, planning and rehearsals, use of personal protective
equipment, provision of first aid, etc.
Risk3
For each hazard,
decide lev el of risk
once all y our controls
are in place
Slippery surfaces Ellis Medium I’ll make sure there’s nothing slippery on the floor to slip over Low
Trip Hazard Ellis Low I’ll move w ires and things fromthe floor. Trivial
Objects moving or flying Ellis Low Move things out the w ay Trivial
Stress/anxiety Ellis Medium Make him comfortable Trivial
