This risk assessment document identifies potential risks for an outdoor film shoot including weather, injuries to actors, illness among the cast and crew, broken equipment, and faulty storage cards. It assigns responsibilities for each risk and provides brief prevention strategies such as scheduling outdoor shots when weather permits, actors taking care to avoid hard falls, having backup plans if an actor falls ill, handling equipment with care, and checking storage cards work and have enough space.

1. Risk Assessment
Risk Shot/Location Responsibility Prevention
Weather All outdoor
shots/locations
N/A There is no way of
preventing it from

just have to make
sure we record
when the weather
is good.

James and
Brad
James and Brad will
have to make sure
they aren’t falling to
hard when they do
fall. And James
must make sure he
doesn’t trip over
whilst he is
running.
Illness Overall film
shoot
Actors If one of the actors
is ill on a filming
day there is nothing
we can do about it.
We would have to
work on something
else that doesn’t
involve them.

2. Broken
Equipment
Overall film

Cameraman If any of this
equipment broke
we would have to
replace it in order
to keep filming. To
prevent it from
breaking we just
need to be careful.
Faulty SD
Card

Cameraman/

The cameraman or
the director should
check that the SD
card is working and
has enough space
for all of the clips.
