This risk assessment document identifies potential hazards for a student film production and measures to minimize risks. Hazards include restricted access/egress, weapons, confined spaces, dark locations, and flammable clothing. Control measures include notifying the public, removing trip hazards, safe weapon handling practices, using lights, and avoiding fire. With these controls, the likelihood of harm is rated as remote or very unlikely, resulting in minimal further necessary action.
