How did we meet health and safety laws?

 

What are the hazards?	Who might be harmed and how?	What are you already doing to control the risks?	What further action do you need to take to control the risks?	Who needs to carry out the action?	When is the action needed by?	Done
Allergies: Pets Food Hay fever Chemicals	Crew with allergies must be careful and ensure they are aware of any traces of allergens before they arrive on set	Make sure all crew are made aware of all possible traces so that there are no medical emergencies.	Ensure Crew have EpiPen’s or know of locations to get EpiPen’s as another crew member may need it.	All casting crew must be weary	Before production begins it must be planned
Props	Crew must be careful when using props as they could get cuts. Also small props could be a choking hazard so everyone must be aware.	Make sure all props like knives are fake and blunt so that people don’t hurt themselves. Also there are no small props being used so we can make sure nobody will choke.	Ensure everyone is being safe and cautious on and off set.	Everyone	Before production begins until production is done
Equipment	There will be expensive equipment and cameras on tripods and if someone trips they might damage the equipment.	Be careful when carrying equipment. When travelling we must make sure that any attachments and other equipment is safe and secure	Store equipment in safe environments. All travel together so nobody travels expensive equipment alone.	All personnel	As soon as production begins
Trip Hazards	Film crew, Any actors could be hurt when we are filming in the forest. There could be branches or stones or unlevel ground	Make sure everyone is using their eyes while walking with the equipment as someone may get hurt

While on set, i made sure to follow all guidance to prevent any injury or damage. For example, on the risk assessment i acknowledged the risk of tripping over wires that may lay around. I took action to ensure all wires were hidden away and made sure all microphones were wireless. Also, any wires that were present I highlighted with bright tape so it was easily visible. Another risk I identified was the possibility of damaged equipment. I made sure that each camera was secured to the tripod to avoid damages and I ensured to check each camera was attatched in between shots. Finally, I made sure that any small props were handled properly and safely as I wanted t make sure there were no choking hazards. I made sure these steps were carried out to make sure production was a safe filming environment.
