Risk Assessment

After Completing my Location Recce, I decided to return back to the location and complete a risk assessment sheet, looking at all of the potential hazards in the location and how severe each hazard could be in a worst case scenario, also talking about who would be at risk and how likely the hazard would cause a problem alongside what measures would we put in place to reduce risk.

I started off dating the time when I completed the risk assessment and giving the location of where the risk assessment

Time and date of shoot: 12/01/2017  Location: Dartmoor Quarry

Description of what will be filmed : It will start out with a zombie on top of one of the characters, he will then

Hazard	Person/s at risk	Likelihood of hazard (1-5) 1= least likely	Severity of outcomes 1= lowest risk	Risk level Likelihood + severity ÷2	Measure to reduce risk	Final risk level acceptable?
Sharp Metal Objects, could cut people on location	Everyone on Location	1	4	2.5	Sharp objects have been carefully moved away from the filming area, just seen within the background of the shot. People will not be allowed near the sharp objects.	Yes
Rock Quarry rocks possibly falling onto people or equipment	Everyone on Location	1	5	3	The Rocks Have a very, very slim chance of falling. They have been there for years and have never fallen before, they are secure from falling randomly.	Yes
Trip Hazards like small rocks  and other small objects	Everyone on Location	4	2	3	Small, loose rocks have been moved from the filming area so we do not trip over them. Actors follow a path which has no tripping hazards so it is all safe.	yes
Rocky Environment lead to hurting feet	Everyone on Location	2	2	2	These rocky environments are only leading up to the filming area, there is a safer, more risk-free way of getting to the set.	yes
Slippery surfaces due to wet environments	Everyone on Location	5	2	3.5	Film only when it is dry otherwise there is a chance that the grass is slippery.	yes

After completing the risk assessment, I had a few people check it to see if they could find any faults with my assessment and if they thought of any other risks, nothing else was added. Next I asked someone to Countersign my risk assessment as confirmation that people have checked my risk assessment.
