This risk assessment form evaluates the risks associated with filming footage at the Sunderland Empire theatre over the course of one day. The producer, Emma Wallace, will be filming with one other crew member. Potential hazards identified include trip hazards, falls from height, and stress or anxiety. Control measures to minimize risks include being careful when walking, taking shots from a safe distance when filming from the gallery, and communicating plans with theatre staff. With these control measures in place, the risks are deemed negligible.
