This risk assessment summarizes the activities of filming a music video in Cambridge, England. It identifies three main activities: filming in the city center streets, filming in rural fields, and filming from the top level of a multi-story car park. Hazards include tripping, slipping, falling into the river, being hit by cars, and falling over edges. Controls include sticking to paths, checking weather and ground conditions, staying away from hazards, and having crew monitor safety. With controls in place, all activities are deemed to have a low risk level.
