This document summarizes potential hazards, risks, existing controls, and further actions required for a film shoot. It identifies working around a road, equipment getting wet from rain, and filming on a staircase as medium risks, and recommends waiting for lower traffic times, using water resistant protectors, and keeping equipment exposure to rain minimal. Tripping over wires during running scenes is also flagged as a potential low to medium risk, with covering wires and restricting running to scenes as suggested controls.

Risks
(Who/what?)
Existing Controls Level of Risk
(with existing
control, low
medium or high)
Further Action
Required
(where level of risk
is medium or high)
Working around a
road
Actors
Cameraman
Stop, look and
listen, rules for
crossing a road.
Medium Wait until a lower
traffic time to
avoid interruptions
in filming and to
avoid injury.
Equipment getting
wet

If weather is
considered to be
heavy rain then we
will pause
filming/removing
liquid from areas
around camera.
Medium Water resistant
protectors for the
equipment and try
to keep time that
the equipment is
exposed to water
e.g the rain to a
minimum to avoid
serious injury to
those involved.
Filming on a
staircase

One person on a

Low N/A
Tripping hazard Actors Controlled pace
when running
Low (or medium,
depending on
whether you are
running over an
area with wires or
not)
Cover wires which
may cause issues,
keep to a walking
pace unless acting
requires in the
scene, in which
case if an accident
were to happen its
likelihood will be
reduced.
