Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is a chart that is filled out in the pre production process of a film. It is when you consider all the dangers that can come to your actors and crew members. Also you have to cover what can go wrong during the production process. As a basic summery, it contains all the health and safety elements during filming.

Some elements that could be considered are;

- Alcohol/Drugs

- Camera Cables/Grip Equipment

- Unstable Structures

- Old, Derelict Buildings

- Confined Spaces

- Electricity/Gas (other than normal supplies)

- Fatigue

- Long Hours

- Fire/Flammable Materials

- Hot/Cold/Extreme Weather Conditions

- Hot/Cold/Extreme Temperature Conditions

- Noise-High Sound Levels

- Radiation

- Smoking whilst on Set

- Stunts/Dangerous Activities

- Working on Heights

- Working Overseas

As a director, it is your responsibility to make sure all actors and crew are safe throughout the whole production process, no matter what conditions you are working in.
