Identified hazards
Walking to locations outside college
involves crossing roads. There is a
potential hazard of being knocked
over by a car.
Bags and equipment risk being stolen
if left unattended during filming. This
is a higher risk outside of the college,
where storage space is limited.
Members of the public could trip
over camera equipment – e.g. tripod
legs.
If it is raining whilst filming outside,
rainwater may cause equipment to
malfunction and a slip hazard.
Filming equipment may be dropped
during changes of location.
All members of our group need to ensure that they are aware of roads, not distracted by filming equipment and technology.
Ensure that all group members are aware of the need to name bags and equipment, allowing it to be returned in the case of it being lost.
