Filming activities were assessed for various risks including weather, proximity to roads, electrical equipment, cluttered locations, restricted areas, and night filming. The highest risks were from stormy weather and filming close to busy roads. Control measures for these included checking weather reports, having shelter available, and avoiding roads when filming. Medium risks involved loose wires and restricted areas, which could be mitigated by keeping wires secure and obtaining permission to film. Low risks such as cluttered locations and night filming required advance scouting and use of lighting equipment.
