This document lists various risks identified for a film shoot and proposed solutions to mitigate each risk. The risks include slips and trips that could cause accidents, long shoots causing fatigue and mistakes, hot liquids spilling during scenes, heat stroke or hyperthermia while filming indoors, tripping over furniture in public locations, adverse weather conditions, aggression from the public while filming in locations, crew not being able to see while filming scenes, and again slips and trips over cables and props. For each risk, solutions are provided such as securing cables, taking breaks, staying hydrated, ensuring safe conditions indoors and outdoors, planning routes carefully, and making sure people and grounds are safe.
