Ensure that if you’re

that you wait for a gap in 
the traffic and you look 
both ways twice.

innocent member of 
the public. 
Ensure that you are 
looking where you are 
going at all times and are 
aware of the people 
around you.

the floor will be wet 
and someone could 
slip over and they 
could seriously injure 
themselves. 
Walk slowly and do not 
run during filming or 
pre/post filming and also 
ensure that care is taken 
near any puddles or wet 
patches.

ensure you don’t fall over.

camera could fall over 
(if it is on a tripod). 
Ensure that the camera 
and tripod is being held at 
all times to avoid an 
accident. 
1 Myself. 
Weather – cold If it is could, the actors 
and actresses could 
become too cold to 
work professionally 
and therefore it could 
affect their 
performance.

actresses are wrapped up 
well enough to avoid them 
getting ill or being cold. 
5 Myself.
