This document assesses risks and contingencies for filming scenes in various locations - a bedroom, stairs, street, bus, and pub. It identifies potential hazards such as falling on the stairs, getting hit by a car while crossing the street, getting trapped in the bus door, bumping into people exiting the bus, and a camera falling on someone's feet. For each hazard, it recommends preventative measures and ranks the risk as low or medium. Contingency plans are also provided, such as using an alternate actor, crossing the street safely, taking a taxi instead of the bus, or using a camera dolly.
