This document contains a risk assessment for a video production project taking place at the Nene Park Academy Media Studio on 15/12/16. It identifies potential hazards such as confined spaces, costume/makeup, electricity, lighting, and slipping/tripping. For each hazard, it evaluates the likelihood and severity of harm, and describes how the risk will be managed. Methods of risk management include limiting the number of people in the studio, ensuring makeup is suitable for individuals, exercising caution with electrical equipment, allowing lights to cool before moving, and keeping cables secured and the area organized.
