Risk Assessment


Hazard
Possible Risk
Prevention
 
Glass
 ● During the video we plan to smash a couple of wine glasses onto the floor. A possible risk for this is that one of us may cut ourselves during the shoot. If there is shattered glass on the floor, there is a chance that it could cut a child in the week following the shoot because we are filming in a school hall.
 ● We are going to cover the floor with a large white sheet to avoid getting glass on the actual floor. This means that we can sweep most of the glass up and then pick up the sheet at the end and dispose of the glass safely. We will then vacuum the floor to ensure that all of the glass is gone. We will also makes sure that when filming we have practical shoes on so we do not cut our feet, and we do not touch the glass when tidying it away. 
 
Paint
 ● Paint is going to be a big feature in our music promo. However one of the risks it will bring is the chance that we could slip on it. There will be quite a lot of it on the floor and it can be easy to lose grip and fall over.
● Another risk it could bring is that it could get in the eyes of the performer. We will be dripping paint down her face so it could fall into her eyes.
 ● In order to avoid the risk of slipping over, we are going to cover the floor with thick materials so it can easily be disposed of. Sometimes we are just covering objects in paint, so we will film these on sheets and then collect and bin them. We will also have a mop and bucket at the ready to clean the floor if necessary, and towels to dry it so we do not slip.
● When filming the paint dripping down the performer’s face, we will have towels nearby and a tub of water so we can clean it all off her face to stop it getting in her eyes. 
 
Step Ladder
● In order to achieve some of the higher shots we are planning to have, we must use a step ladder. This brings the risk of the person using the step ladder falling off and injuring themselves.
● Also, because the step ladder is a fold-out one it is possible that it could collapse when someone is stood on it.
● To prevent anyone falling off the ladder, we will make sure that the person is wearing sturdy shoes so that they have good grip, and are unlikely to slip. Also, someone can be holding the step ladder securely so that it is not unstable.
● To make sure it does not collapse, we will check that the latch on the ladder is in place so it is secure.
 
Guitar
● Towards the end of the video, we are hoping to capture a very effective shot of the performer smashing a guitar. This could be quite dangerous because the performer may accidentally get hurt, for example by hitting their foot with the guitar. 
● Another risk that this shot may bring is that the guitar will be shattering, so there will be chunks of wood all over the floor. There is a chance that the performer or a crew member could step on a bit or get a splinter.
● To stop the performer hurting her foot with the guitar we will ensure that she is wearing practical shoes that are thick enough to protect her. We will also make sure that there is enough room for the girl to hit the ground with the guitar and not hit herself. This will require a lot of room and we will make sure we have this before we film the shot.
● To stop the crew getting a splinter or stepping on some sharp wood, we will all be wearing practical shoes. In addition to this we will gather all of the wood in a sheet and dispose of it. We will then vacuum the ground so that it is clean of any wood.
 
Slippery flooring
● The flooring of the room we are using is very smooth and would be very easy to slip on. We must try to avoid slipping over and injuring ourselves.
● To avoid this we will all wear practical shoes to give us good grip. We will also mostly be stood on sheets in preparation for the paint, glass and guitar shots. This will make it less likely for us to slip over.
 
Electrical Equipment
● The first risk that comes with using lots of electrical equipment is that we may trip over one of the wires that are laid across the floor. There will be a great deal of wires and when we are walking around them all day it is quite likely we could get our feet caught.
● Another risk is that we could spill drinks or any other liquid on the equipment causing an electric shock. We will be drinking throughout the day in the same room as the equipment so it is possible for this to occur.
● If any parts of the electrical equipment are faulty it could result in an electric shock to a member of the crew. If the equipment is old or worn then it is more likely. 
● To stop ourselves from tripping over the wires, we will make sure that they are all gathered to the side of the room. If there are any particularly dangerous areas of wires we can cover them or put tape over them to avoid tangling our feet within them.
● To avoid any incidents with liquids, we have agreed that all our drinks will be in bottles so that they are safely secured and less likely to spill. Moreover, we will drink in the corner of the hall that is free from wires or electric equipment so the likelihood is reduced.
● To make sure the electrical equipment is not faulty, we shall check with the owners that they are in good condition. We are using lighting and control box that we have asked to use from the drama department. We will ensure with the technician that they are safe to use and he can check this for us.
