This risk assessment form details Toby Adshead's plans to record sound effects for a radio production at Heath Park. It will involve recording outdoor sounds like cars and stairs from March 12-11. Toby will take precautions like standing on pavements away from vehicles and only running up 3 stairs at a time. It will also require fight scene sounds which Toby will safely create using a punching bag and dropping objects against walls rather than actual physical contact. With controls in place, the overall risk is assessed as low.

Cars/Moving vehicles There are going to be plenty of cars driving past while I am recording the outdoor sound effects, to

pavement out of harms way from the vehicles.

me from tripping up the stairs I will only run up three steps and the duplicate it in post production.

Control measures
How are you going to prevent this from happening?
Punching sound I will create this sound by punching a wall bag (Punching Bag), As I am trained to punch this bag I will
not be putting my self at risk and this sound will only take one shot to create so I will not be putting my
self at risk
Pushing sounds This sound will be created by dropping something against a wall to create a bang and then an added
sound effect of the voice actor will be put over the top this helps prevent anyone from actually being
pushed up against the wall.
