This risk assessment document identifies several potential hazards for an outdoor dance performance and outlines mitigation strategies. Indoor hazards include other people and trip hazards like chairs and stairs. Outdoor hazards include concrete, other dancers, bollards, and traffic. Trip hazards from chairs or stones are identified as a common but low risk that can be addressed by warning dancers. Weather is deemed a marginal risk since outdoor performances will be planned around forecasts to avoid rain and slippery conditions. Properly securing equipment like tripods and shoulder rigs is important to prevent injury from collapse or drops, so a professional will be present.

1. Risk Assessment
BY CONNIE ALLEN.

2. Hazards Outdoors/ Indoors.
 Indoors – Other people
around and other trip
hazards, chairs and the stairs.
 Outdoors – Concrete, Other
dancers, Bollards, Traffic.

3. TRIP HAZARDS
 One of the most common hazards is one of the easiest to remedy would be the
trip hazard. If chairs are around where they are dancing or there are stones in the
outside shots, which anyone is able to fall off or over if they are not warned before
hand.
 4 – is the severity of the hazard of the hazard which is negligible, this hazard will
also only happen occasionally (C) meaning that it is of a low risk. I will reduce this
risk by making sure that all of the dancers are aware of their surroundings, and
that i am using the equiptment and setting it out somewhere that isnt in the way
of their dancing space.

4. Weather
 A risk could be the weather as if it was to rain whilst the dancers are dancing
outside, they could possibly slip over. If the floor is wet were they are dancing they
could possibly slip and fall.
 3 – this is the severity of the situation which is marginal as this doesn't happen a
lot in the studios and the dancers are careful when outside. This would would a
medium risk, the probability of this happening is improbable.
 To make sure that this doesn't happen I would need to plan in advance and look
at the weather forecast for the week to come to make sure it wasn’t going to rain.

5. Making sure the equipment is prepared
correctly.
 Making sure that the equipment is prepared correctly is another really important
hazard that people will forget about when in the studio, in the school and outside.
For example, making sure that tripod is secure so that no one near or underneath
can be hit or it collapse on. Also the shoulder rig if this isn't properly set up this
could be seen as a level 2 severity because if one would of dropped it could
seriously hurt someone and potentially make them go to hospital.
 To make sure that this doesn't happen I will have a professional on hand all the
time so they will know exactly how to put equipment together and there is a very
slight possibility that this could happen.
