This document summarizes a risk assessment for a student film group filming their project titled "A City of Saints". The group plans to film scenes at Castlefield House, an alleyway in Reigate, and a car park in Reigate. Hazards identified include getting hit by a car while filming in the car park, illness from cold weather, falling from height in a multi-story car park, and tripping over equipment. Control measures to minimize risks include avoiding filming in traffic paths, wearing warm clothes, staying away from edges, and removing trip hazards.

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.

Risk matrix – use this to determine risk for
each hazard i.e. ‘how bad and how likely’ Likelihood of Harm
Severity of Harm
Remote
e.g. <1 in 1000 chance
Very unlikely
e.g. 1 in 200 chance
Unlikely
e.g. 1 in 50 chance
Possible
e.g. 1 in 10 chance
Likely
e.g. >1 in 3 chance
Negligible e.g. small bruise Trivial Trivial Trivial Low Low
Slight e.g. small cut, deep bruise Trivial Trivial Low Low Medium
Moderate e.g. deep cut, torn muscle Trivial Low Medium Medium High
