Risk Assessment

Risk assessments are a vital part of production because when it comes to filming it rules out the risk of anyone getting hurt. Risk assessments must be completed in depth to make sure that each individual involved will be safe. To complete a risk assessment succesfully all the locations and sets must be visited and observed to see any likely dangers the crew and cast could be under. After this whoever is doing the risk assessment will then decide how these risks can be minimised or whether it is better to change the filming to avoid the risk completly. This is useful for the production as it makes sure that no one gets hurt, it also makes sure that everyone is aware of the possible risks they may face. A disadvantage of a risk assessment is that if a possible risk is missed out then it can completely put the cast and crew in danger. Here is an example of a risk assessment below:
