camera and boom mic I believe that it could be a potential
tripping hazard.

Action to take In order to prevent any risks I will ensure that all cables
are securely taped to the floor with gaffa tape. I will also
alert the crew and Rachel, the tattooist that there will be
cables on the floor as an extra precaution.

Hazard no: 16 Noise Risk Factor (1-5) 3
Description In terms of noise the only noise which may cause a risk is
the sound of the tattoo gun which is a tedious buzzing
sound. Though this wont cause any harm to the cast and
crew it will become quite annoying during the hour shoot.
Person(s) exposed

Action to take I will allow a series of brief breaks from the tattooing and

5. Hazard no: 7 Electricity and Gas Risk Factor (1-5) 3
Description Given the fact that we will be shooting in a tattoo studio
there will be electricity from lights and lamps to the
tattooist’s equiptment. For this reason I will take extra
precaution to keep any liquids away from the equipment
and electrical sources.
Person(s) exposed
(detail if cast/crew
(C), outside
company (O) or
public (P) )
C
Action to take By doing this I will be asking cast and crew to not eat or
drink during the shoot and advise the tattooist to keep all
of her cleaning products on the desk which will be a good
distance from the equipment.

Hazard no: 28 Water Risk Factor (1-5) 3
Description The tattoo studio has certain health and safety
regulations which means that there is a sink and water
facilities to keep the work place hygienic.
Person(s) exposed
(detail if cast/crew
(C), outside
company (O) or
public (P) )
C
Action to take All electrical equipment will be kept at a safe distance
from the water sources and this will reduce the risk of
spillage which could cause cast or crew to slip as well as
protecting the equipment.
