The document discusses potential hazards on a film set and risk assessments for actors and crew. It identifies risks such as injury from using tools in the workshop (Moderate risk), a hidden sharp blade (Low risk), tripping over waste in the workshop (Moderate risk), tripping due to low lighting (Moderate risk), and injury from tools during close-up filming (Moderate risk). Controls already in place include taking care while using tools, ensuring the actor only pretends to make the blade, keeping filming areas clear of hazards, providing some lighting, and filming from a distance. Further actions may include acting cautiously, being aware of trip hazards and space, and filming safely without endangering people or equipment.
