This document contains a risk assessment for filming a short film. It identifies potential hazards such as tripping over tree roots, slipping on wet ground, getting lost in the forest, and falling into a river. For each hazard, it identifies who could be harmed and how, what precautions are already being taken, and any additional actions needed to prevent risks. Actions include evaluating filming areas for hazards, only filming in dry areas, ensuring the crew has each other's contact info in case anyone gets lost, and not filming or taking equipment near bodies of water.
