Risk Assessment

The following is our risk assessment:

RISK ASSESMENT
	CUPID GREEN LANE	ST. AGNELLS ROAD.	HOUSE/DRIVEWAY
Weather	The weather may be wet and windy so crew and the cast need to ensure that they do not film during unconditional weather periods. Furthermore, this lane is also very narrow so puddles can appear which also act as a risk. Appropriate clothing should also be considered for both cast and crew to prevent injury.	Similar to Cupid Green Lane, if weather is inappropriate the ideal action is to resist filming in these conditions. This road however is a main road so cars may splash onto the cast and flooring may be slippery so cast should be wearing the suitable clothing. The electrical’s e.g. the camera should not have contact with wet weather.	- -
Cars	Both cast and crew should be aware of the cars approaching the bend, as there is a risk of a car hitting people. As this lane is very narrow, the path is very small and parts do not have a path so crew will have to wear a visible clothing to make driver aware of the filming.	As a main road there is a large wide path which makes it safer for our crew and cast to film on. However risks such as the cars swerving on the path will be prevented by the crew wearing visible clothing in order for drivers to see them.	A car will be driving into the driveway of the house so there is a risk of the car hitting a pedestrian or cast member so clear indication must be given during the duration of filming this.
Flooring	The flooring will be checked for any dips, cracks or any obstacles which could cause a trip hazard or injure a individual. Flooring should also be checked to see if it is slippery as this could cause cast and crew to slip up and severely hurt themselves.	Similar to Cupid green lane, flooring should be checked to ensure that there is no dips, cracks or trip hazards which can cause a person to injure themselves. They should be fixed or an alternative place to location should be used so that no members of crew and cast are at risk.	Looking out for any spillages, cracks or holes should be considered so that  this can be dealt with and prevent injury for the service users .  flooring should also be appropriate, for instance laminate flooring is hard so ensuring that a cast member doesn’t injure themselves by hitting against it.
Lighting	Dark lighting will act as a large risk In this location due to the lack of streetlamps in this location. This underlines the risk of cars and pedestrians not being seen. Crew will wear visible clothing in order to make others aware of our presence.	Again when we film at night it can be difficult for others to see us so we will be wearing visible clothing to warn others of our presence. This location has more lighting compared to Cupid Green lane.	--
Positioning	Our positioning in this location will be on the edge and middle. We intend to film in the middle of the location as this will give drivers the opportunity to see that we are filming. Also we will use the edge of the road so we do not get in the way of traffic.	We will film in the direction facing traffic so that they will be able to see us filming. Because the path is wide it will allow them to use the road room as they need to.	We will film on a safe and stable surface. For example we will refrain from filming near stairs or a cracked flooring in order to prevent injuries and further damage to the property.
