be held accountable for
replacing the equipment!. It

*nsure that the handling of
the props is done with care

one outside of the group
handles the props and
putting away the props
properly when not in use.

I rated this risk a + as an
in)ury through a chisel or
hammer could be very
serious. It could face serious
consequence if it was to
cause harm to a
neighbouring member of
public particularly a child!.

forest our location for
flming!
Make sure that all members
of the group wear
appropriate foot wear for
hiking to minimi(e the risk
of falling and in)uring
yourself.

not result to any serious
form of in)ury but the
possibility is still there which
is why I rated this risk a -.

knocking over the camera

agitation whilst flming,

managed by ensuring that
all members of the group
are dressed appropriate for
the weather

avoided and man aged,

in)ured or unwell
*nsure that emergency
contact details are listed
and kept in case of any
medical emergencies, as

I have rated this risk a & as
an in)ury could be very
serious, the possibilities of
what in)uries could occur
are endless and some of
these could even prove
fatal such as a road
accident.
