This risk assessment identifies hazards and control measures for students filming a documentary inside a pub. Six risks are identified: lifting heavy equipment improperly, bumping into patrons, dropping equipment, filming in a busy area, slipping on wet floors, and broken glass. Control measures include properly lifting equipment, checking the area, securing equipment, filming at quiet times, checking floor dryness, and clearing the filming area. The students are advised to learn proper lifting techniques, ask staff for help, inform staff of filming, double check equipment, and wait if busy or inform staff of any hazards.
