A risk assessment is a guide to the hazards on a set and the action taken to reduce the risk of this happening, it is very commonly also used to safe production companies from 'accident at work' lawsuits, providing a safe environment for the crew involved.On a photoshoot set it is always a possibility that something may go wrong, to avoid coming into contact with danger and risk when things might go wrong I conducted a risk assessment for the location I was going to be shooting in, this was with me on set along with a plan of action in case of emergency.
---
Most of the risk and hazards were very unlikely to happen however I tackled the possibility and came up with plans to prevent the hazards. As all were rare-Unlikely likelihood and Minor-Moderate consequences this places all of my hazards in the Moderate rating in the below hazard key for risk assessing.
Action Plan
My action plan to deal with all of these hazards is included in my solution section of my risk assessment, I decided that I would tell my actors the dangers in advance and have it included in the contract that this was told to them.
Update:
On set no damage was sustained by actors, crew, equipment or set, no disease was spread and no wildlife or weather conditions interrupted filming. Thanks in part to my prior planning.
