Risk Assesment

There are risks involved in filming, firstly the camera strap could get caught, trapped, or pulled which could be dangerous for the person wearing the strap around their neck. To prevent this we will be careful how the camera hangs around our neck. Another danger is the tripod, if the tripod is in the middle of the corridor someone could trip over it and hurt themselves. To prevent this we will not leave the camera unattended and we will be careful when moving the tripod. Also if someone picks up the tripod they could accidentally hit someone with it. We are filming on a floor that could become slippery if it gets wet. To prevent any danger we will alert people if the floor is wet and will tell a member or staff. Another danger is that we will be filming next to a construction site. There is a barrier but in order to prevent any danger we will tell people about the construction site and make sure nobody enters it. The classroom we are filming in has lots of tables and chairs, these can be a danger if someone walks into them, to prevent this we will be sensible and be careful of where we are walking. People may trap their fingers in the door which could cause injury, to prevent this we will all be cautious when opening and closing the door.
