This risk assessment identifies potential hazards for filming a corporate video at a hospital. It lists six hazards: tripping on equipment, narrow stairs, car crashes while transporting equipment, getting hit by cars in parking lots, fingers being amputated by minibus doors, and impalement on tripods. For each hazard, it identifies those who may be harmed and how, what precautions are already in place, and determines that no further actions are necessary. The assessment rates the overall risk as low.
