This risk assessment form covers the filming of an independent production over 5 scenes in 2 locations - a nearby cemetery and a house's living room. In the cemetery, the main hazards identified are assault by a passing person, collision with vehicles on paths, and cold weather. Controls include being aware of others, looking for vehicles, and ensuring proper clothing. For the house scene, the only hazard is a prop knife, which will have its edges taped and be held away from actors and carefully transported between takes. With these controls, all risks are assessed as unlikely or below.

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
