This risk assessment checklist identifies potential hazards for filming a music video in various locations and outlines preventative measures. Hazards include tripping over cables, falling off stages, hitting lights, injuries in crowds, strangers at train stations and on city streets, traffic, weather, and hot hair tools. Risks are assessed as unlikely but possibly major or minor. Preventative methods include making all crew and cast aware of hazards, taping down cables, treating injuries, filming with caution near hazards, and keeping a first aid kit available.
