This document summarizes the risks identified for an upcoming film production and the risk assessment and mitigation plans. Four key risks included an actor with type 1 diabetes who may experience hypoglycemia, filming at night with safety and communication plans, filming in public places to avoid disturbing others, and crew members smoking only in permitted areas. The risk assessment process rated likelihood and severity of each risk to determine a risk factor and appropriate actions. Mitigation plans focused on safety, communication, permissions and avoiding impacts on the public.

1. 1
Risk Assessment
Complete the following table rating;
 Each risks severity on scale from Negligable (N), Low risk (L), Moderate risk (M), Severe (S),
Very severe (V)
 Each risks likelihood on scale from Very unlikely (VU), Unlikely (U), Possible (P), Likely (L), Very
likely (VL)
 Determine the risk factor from the table overleaf.
