Risk assessment

There could be many risks during the process of making our music video. This risk assessment will make us aware of the possible risks and how they can be prevented.

1. Tripping over objects at location?
 Answer: Yes
Likelihood: Medium
Severity: Medium
Persons at risk: All members of crew(2), actors(20) and band memebers(2).
Precautions: Minimise the risks by briefing all members of cast and crew before the filming takes place in order to prevent any accidents. Make sure wires from microphones, keyboards or lights are not in the way of people.


2. Camera and equipment getting damaged?
Answer: Yes
Likelihood: Medium/high
Severity: Medium
Persons at risk: All actors(20) and crew(2). Equipment.

3. Special effects?
Answer: Yes
Likelihood: High
Severity: Medium
Persons at risk: Members of crew(2) and band(2).
Precautions: We might be using a smoke machine in our music video, therefore crew or cast members with allergies or asthma would be told before the filming takes place that they might be at risk and then given the option as to whether they would like to carry on with the filming. Strobe lights might also be used when filming; any member of the cast or crew would also need to be briefed about the possible dangers especially if they might suffer from epilepsy.

Likelihood: Low
Severity: High/ Medium
Persons at risk: All actors(20) and crew(2). Equipment
Precautions: To prevent any major/minor injuries to the crew, band members or actors temporary structures such as a the flood light/strobe light and possibly a ladder would have to be fixed correctly using a screwdriver or appropriate stand and someone must be holding the ladder safely. Temporary structures like the DJ set would also need to set up properly to prevent harm to the DJ, surrounding people or equipment.
