Risk Assessment For Our Music Video

 

Significant Findings of Risk Assessment

Location:		Assessment Serial No:
Activity: Production - Filming	Carried out by:  Harry Sandall	Date:  Friday 2nd October 2015	Review Date:

Hazards	Who might be harmed	Existing controls (Refer to procedures doumented elsewhere where appropriate)	Controls Adequate Y / N	Additional Controls Required
Transport – accident / lost / approached by starngers	Student	·         Students to record on their audit how they are to get to location. Times and locations needed ·         Parents need to be made aware. ·         Mobile phone numbers shared between group and parents. ·         Production schedule identifies times, means of transport, locations. ·         No students under 18 are to go in the car of another student. ·         With students over 18 both parents need to be aware. Insurance and car worthnessness  need to be guarenteed. ·         If students go with other parents both parents need to be aware.	Yes	Also, in the unlikely event of automobile issues, we will have to ensure that we cross the road in a safe manner and watch for incoming traffic.
Use of equipment (list)		·         Training on equipment use. ·         Security ·         Storage ·         Safety (no guns, daggers, mock drugs, etc) in public – check prop suitability	Yes	In the event that we have a situation that needs to be addressed by the emergency services, we will ALL carry mobile phones in case we need to call for help and we will all charge them to 100% the night before to ensure that they last as long as possible whilst we are out filming. In addition, in the event that we are confronted by people for whatever reason, we will need to extract ourselves from the location and get to safety as soon as possible.
Passerby- nusicance/ concern	Passersby	·         All equipment to be include in production schedule. ·         Any permissions required evidenced. ·         Awareness of outsiders
Location	Students	·         Trespass ·         Any permissions required evidenced. ·         Safety of location – students to consider safety of buildings, ground, ·         Consider risk of falls, slips and trips	Yes	An example of this could be that if one of us had an allergy to something we need to ensure that at least one of us had an epipen on hand in order to addresses the issue effectively without putting the victims health at risk or in extreme cases saving them from dying from an allergic reaction. To stop this happening in the first place, if anybody does have an allergic reaction, they will need to be vigilant with what they touch/go near in order to try to prevent from happening in the first place. Also, for standard injuries, we will need to have a small medical kit on hand in order to attend to wounds such as cuts and bruises.
		Send letter to parents highlighting H&S issues and student responsibilities	Yes

Below is a separate risk assessment in relation to a laptop smashing scene that will be filmed in school that could potentially cause injury.

 

Risk Assessment for Laptop Smashing Scene in Our Music Video

 

Hazard Identified	Who might be harmed	What measures are already in place	What additional measures will be put in place
Glass/Plastic Shrapnel	Me and my two three media group peers.	We shall endeavour to borrow a face mask from the schools on site grounds team in order to prevent injury to our most venerable area, our faces.	I will ensure that apart from the thrower, me that my workmates will stand out of the radius of the laptop.
Glass/Plastic remains	Anybody who comes into contact with it may cut their foot or somewhere else if they fall onto it and potentially do serious harm.	We shall throw the laptop into an area that is not commonly used by the staff and students alike.	We shall clean up all the remains of the smashed laptop to ensure that the affected area is safe to use again once we have finished.
Throwing the laptop into somebody.	Anybody who passes by.	We will make absolutely sure that nobody is around us when we perpetrate this act.

This sequence with the laptop was eventully scrapped by us as agroup because we deemed it to time consuming and the overall sequence would not be lengthly enough to significantly contribute to the music video. In addition, we also agreed that alongside the editing process and the upcoming evaluation work
