Risk Assessment
A risk assessment is used to minimizes the risks of an environment and make it as safe as possible for the people involved. Without a risk assessment that people do pay attention to it can be very dangerous for the people involved even in the most safe of environments. This will make the risks that are undertake much smaller by comparison.
Our risk assessment covers the main dangers that are related to our filming and are very specific with things that can be done to prevent them and how they have started.An example of a dangerous location which is not to far away is just filming on a road. This is an example of how any location can be dangerous but can be helped by a risk assessment of the area. Things as simple as avoiding using a busy road can really help the safety and make filming much safer for the people involved. Without the risk assessment it would be very dangerous to film on any location.
Our first risk is trailing leads while working around a set which form a tripping hazard which is very easily done and is easily preventable. All that is need is taping them to the floor so they cannot be moved and this will prevent tripping over them.
Running in a forest can be very dangerous as debry and obstacles in the way. Things such as rocks, branches, roots and holes can all cause a serious trip and landing of any of these can result in serious injury such as broken bones or cuts. The best way to counter this is to use appropriate footwear when running if possible and clear the path of any tripping hazards before the run.This will prevent any injuries when running in a forest.
Another big risk is using a knife in filming , things such as cuts and stab wounds can be fatal and would need medical attention immediately. To make it safer using a knife we must hold the knife in the correct way which avoids cuts to hands and to not run with the knife as if someone ran and slipped they could impale themselves and would likely die. Or it would be much safer using an alternative although that is not possible in this case.

This is essential as if we did not have a risk assessment and people did get hurt then it would be the fault of the people who are in charge as they have not instructed them. With a risk assessment that is known it is easier then for people to take precautions and to be safe in the area that we are filming and working on location. Also necessary things are needed for working with different things such as running in a possible wet forest with a knife. For this we cleared a path and made sure there were no obstructions in the way. However it is also personnel responsibility such as wearing appropriate shoes.
Overall a risk assessment is very important on keeping people safe and to make sure that the chance of dangerous things that could be happening to be kept to a minimum so as to make it hopefully not happen while filming.
