The document summarizes potential risks from filming activities and how they are controlled. It identifies hazards such as tripping in the dark, actors tripping during running scenes, accidents with a van being filmed, rope-related injuries, falling during restraint scenes, and camera equipment being knocked over. It notes who may be at risk from each hazard and lists control measures like using torches, checking clear areas before shoots, licensing drivers, securing equipment, and getting actor consent.
