HAZARD IDENTIFICATION The rides in which the actor is on at the time, public surrounding the rides PERSONS AT RISK (who might be harmed and how? are there any groups especially at risk?) Actor on the ride, Crew members on the ride along with the actor in dog costume EXISTING PRECAUTIONS (what controls are currently in place?)
There will constantly be a crew member watching out for the Actor in the costume at all times. There will also be a crew member alongside the actor, on the ride at the same time or standing as close as possible. The crew members will be responsible for the actor on the rides and the actor will be informed of this for any queries they have. If any by-passers are on the ride at the same time as the actor and crew members, we will either wait for another turn when the amount of people has limited and quietened down, or film out of the way of these people to refrain from any chaos or accidents. other risk assessments

ANALYSIS OF EXISTING PRECAUTIONS (are the precautions effective; if not, why not?) The actor in costume will be briefed on the precautions that need to be taken for them not to get hurt. We will make sure they understand and if they need to ask any questions or queries. The first aid equipment will be there for the unlikely instance of the actor or crew does get hurt and so we will therefore be able to treat the injury in the necessary way. We will choose rides where injuries are less likely to occur and where they can be prevented. The crew members and actor will be briefed by the person running the ride on the hazards and precautions to take and everyone will make sure they understand and question any quires they have before filming the scene and taking part in the scene.
