STEP 2 - Groups Particularly at Risk: Any of the following groups might be particularly at risk from the hazards you have identified above.  If this is the case record in step 3  as extra control’s may be necessary.
New Employees / Inexperienced Workers	Contractors / Sub-contractors / Delivery Personnel
Members of the Public / Residents / Contributors	Individuals with disabilities or medical conditions

 

STEP 3 – Transfer the details of the hazards identified and groups who are at risk in Step 1 & 2. Now assess the risks from the hazards identified in step 1 by completing the form below.
What could cause HARM? (List here the things you have noted on the previous page)	WHO might be Harmed and HOW? (Remember to include groups particularly at risk)	EXISTING CONTROL MEASURES What do you do already to minimise the risk?	Existing Risk* (See Matrix)	What ADDITIONAL CONTROL MEASURES are required to reduce the risk? (Particularly for High or Medium risks)	Remaining Risk* Once all additional controls measures are in place. (See Matrix)	Who is RESPONSIBLE? & WHEN are these further actions required to be completed?
Construction / Maintenance Work (scaffold / rostra / set building / alterations)	All	Be careful when entering the building; pot holes are around and are dangerous.	Negligible	Enter the building in an orderly fashion but make it look like something out of a film.	Building could collapse and/ or weird things could happen though it’s very unlikely.	Jordan’s fault (I) since I am the one who asked to film there.
Lone Working	Actors	Someone could get hurt; not know what something does (curiosity getting the better of them).	Negligible	Have others standing in with and/ or for you; nearby just in case of any trouble.	Someone could get lost within the house.	The responsibility would be the camera man/ director to keep everyone in line.
Location Catering (food hygiene / storage)	All	Don’t eat or try anything there.	Negligible	Be careful what you do.	N/A.	The person who’s eating.
Machinery (cranes / hoists / jigs / hydraulic platforms)	Actors	Don’t pick up or play with any heavy machinery; rusty and is heavy.	Slight	Avoid any rusty tools/ machinery, you could get hurt.	Get infections from parts flying around the area.	Whoever gets hurt by doing anything to it/ them?
Restricted Spaces	All	Don’t go over what we’re allowed to film; don’t tremble into different areas of the place.	Negligible	Stay in the domain in which we film – keep on track since we have no other place we need to film.	People going outside our filming area.	Whoever walks out of the place to somewhere different.
Storage (racks, shelves)	Actors	Don’t place yourself underneath any racks and shelves as they have a high chance of breaking/ falling.	Slight	Don’t stay underneath any racks or shelves; they have a high chance of falling.	Things collapsing either way.	It’s no one’s fault – depending on how they react or cause this event to happen upon themselves.

 

Weather (cold / hot, etc.)	All	If we divide our filming schedule to certain days, we might have different weather meaning we might have a high chance of wasting time for the certain weather to come back on.	Negligible	Make sure we film a lot on a certain day; certain weather conditions are key as it’ll look odd if we film bits of a scene in different weather conditions.	The weather could change anytime at any day; it’s England so anything could happen.	No one’s fault; it can’t be anyone’s fault for a factor that cannot be controlled.
Derelict building (Asbestos / dangerous structures)	All	Derelict buildings are known to be quite odd with a spooky atmosphere.	Negligible	Be careful with what you do within in the building.	Anything could still happen; due to its haunted nature, things could still unintendedly happen within our surroundings.	Depends on who is not on task and is fooling around; could be anyone.
Violence (attack and verbal abuse)	Actors	Violent scenes may end up with our actors and/ or camera people getting hurt.	Moderate	Be careful on how you both act and what you do within the building; we don’t want anyone getting hurt.	Accidents could still occur during our production of our film.	Whoever caused the accident during the film.
