This risk assessment outlines filming plans for a short film called "Hide N' Seek" to be filmed by a group of students on November 24th at Castlefield and around their college. Hazards identified include assault, sharp objects, slippery surfaces, trip hazards, and physical damage. Risk levels are determined to be trivial, low, or medium. Control measures specified to minimize risks include being aware of surroundings, wiping shoes, clearing paths, and communicating plans to avoid confusion.

Outline of risk assessment
Summary of what is proposed in
terms of sequences and set ups.
List whomightbe harmed
from this activity
e.g. staff, student, public, etc.
For each hazard, decide
level of risk
i.e. if you were to do the
activitywithout your controls
List the measures you will be taking to
minimise the risk identified
e.g. moving trip obstacles, allocate
responsibilityfor equipment, film awayfrom
traffic, have bottled water etc.
Assault by person Students Trivial Being aware of our actions and movements
and the space around us
Sharp object/material Students Trivial Being aware of the objects around us and
the props we are using
Slippery surface Students Low Wiping our shoes before entering
somewhere that it is possible for us to slip.
Not walking or running too fast on a
slippery surface and making sure we don’t
leave any surfaces slippery when we move
locationsTrip hazard Students and staff or public Medium Making sure there is a clear floor space and
that we don’t place anything in the way of
others e.g. bags or props
Physical damage Students and Property Low Making sure that when we film we’re not
reckless and that we don’t damage any of
the locations we are filming in
Management factors
E.G. lack of communication,
competence and co-ordinations
Students Low Always communicate what we are doing
and how we are going to do it so that
everyone is aware of what will be
happening,thus we will avoid any
confusion.

Risk matrix – use this to determine risk for
each hazard i.e. ‘how bad and how likely’ Likelihood of Harm
