P2 (b) Potential hazards/risks

 RISK ASSESSMENT

The risk assessment is intended as a basic template to assist in the completion of a risk assessment for film production activities. Detailed information is available from a variety of risk management and risk assessment specialists.
When conducting a risk assessment, consider all the likely hazards, who may be harmed, property which may be damaged, and the controls already in place. Then, for each likely hazard, bearing in mind the controls already in place, records the 'risk assessment' level. The further action to be considered will be determined by the level of risk assessment.

There should be careful considerations taken into account to the availability of information and ability to make contact in the event of problems. Examples to consider:-

• Is there mobile 'phone reception in the area?'
• How will you keep up to date with changes in the weather?
• How will you be informed of change in tidal waters?
• How easy is it for member of the emergency services to reach you? (cliffs, beaches, quarries, etc.)
