Risk Assessment

Potential Danger	Potential Outcomes	Actions taken to avoid potential outcomes	Further Comments
Tripping over ladders or objects within our location e.g. table.	Serious injury, minor injury or concussion	Any possible movement of furniture will be done as well as pushing all objects of no use out of our locations way.	We will all be in charge for this responsibility as it is part of preparing the location for shooting.
Hitting our heads on any low part of the ceiling.	Serious injury, or concussion	Allow hazard signs above to remind the actors and directors who are not familiar with the location of the hazard.	Although a large risk, all the people included within our opening sequence are relatively short and therefore reduce the chance of the hazard.
Easy injury due to hard walls and flooring.	Minor injury or possibly serious injury.	Be careful and cautious of others in the location.	Ensure everyone is aware of the possible problems caused by inappropriate behaviour. Everyone will be responsible for their actions.
Sharp objects to be moved out of the location	Serious or minor injury.	An adult will remove all sharp objects in order to prevent any harm.	My parents will remove the objects to prevent any harm to anyone.
Unable to see where you are as certain corners of the location are dark.	Minor injury	Lights will be put on at all times unless required differently in filming. If lights are switched off, some form of lighting must be available.	Myself and Rosie will be in control of lighting as it is part of the director’s job.
The cold.	Hypothermia	A portable heater will be placed within the location as well as the appropriate clothing for the weather	I will provide the heater for the location.
Fire. (matches)	Burning (minor injury) Dropping them and causing a potential more dangerous fire.	Make sure the match is fully out before dropping them, and them depose of them correctly by letting them cool off before we put them in a bin.	I will take full responsibility of the matches to insure no injuries or damage occurs.
Fire. (candle)	Burning(minor injury) The wax dripping a burning. Keep away from anything that could catch fire.	Make sure when were not filming the candle is out and unable to set off a fire, and when filming the actor near it and holding it is aware of the potential danger.	I will fully inform anybody who needs to use the candle of all the safety precautions beforehand.
The knife	Cutting ourselves.	Beaware that knifes sharp, and handle with care.	I will take full resposibilty of the knife to ensure knowone gets hurt.
Fire. (bonfire)	Burning(major injury) The fire could get out of control.	Make sure everybody around the bonfire is at a safe distance away to avoid being burnt or sparks hitting them. Make sure the fire stays small by not putting too much stuff onto it. Keep water near the fire in case it gets too big.	Emily’s dad will be lighting and controlling the fire whilst we’re filming.
