Professional film crews take health and safety issues VERY
seriously. The line of responsibility runs from the Producer to the Production
Manager and 1st Assistant Director, and finally on to all crew members who have
a duty of care which is recognized by law.
In this case, the responsibility is on every member of our
group; therefore if there is any damages to the equipment we will be held
responsible! Scary isn’t it?
If any one of us can see a potential risk and don’t mention
it, they will also be held partly responsible for not warning us
When filming, people have many things on their minds, things
can get rushed, and hazards and risks can increase. Even simple things can
become dangerous because this is not an ordinary situation. Of course, all of
life presents hazards, but if someone is asked to run down hill repeatedly to
get the scene right, for example, the risk of them tripping and falling on
their face is increased with each time they do this. If the hill is pavement
rather than grass the risk of serious injury is increased.
'Hazard' refers to the potential for harm.
'Risk' is the chance of that harm actually happening. Though
some hazards might seem very obvious, people might still need to have them
In order to prevent the occurrence of health hazards, we
will carry out a risk assessment.There are three main steps to carrying out a risk
assessment:
- The first one is to identify all the hazards
- Then evaluate the risks. Once this is done we will identify measures to control the risk
- We must ensure that all health hazards and risks that could happen to us an the equipment is reduced when filming for the prelim activities and thriller opening.
Hope you’ve learnt a valuable lesson from us and take into
account everything we’ve said
