This risk assessment evaluates hazards for filming at Harrop Fold High School in Manchester. It identifies potential risks like wires, electrical equipment, and confined spaces. Controls are in place like taping wires down, monitoring equipment use, and limiting people in small spaces. The assessment rates risks as low for wires and confined spaces due to controls, and moderate for electrical equipment use. Further actions like using yellow tape and taking equipment breaks are recommended to improve safety.
