Risk assessment

Hazard	How is it a risk	Likelihood of occurrence	Severity of risk   (1 not serious 10 very serious)	Control measures
Driving a car on a wet muddy road	Driving a car on a wet muddy road can be a serious risk as it could potentially lead to the car slipping and hitting something or someone, which could lead to the person being hit getting injured and the person in the car also getting injured.	This could likely happen, especially because it was winter when we were filming and there was a lot more times where the weather was raining.	6	The only control measures that can be done is firstly either find a safer place to film or if the filming has to take place in the area where the road is wet and muddy, then whoever is driving the car must drive slowly and carefully.
Using dangerous props. E.G. Knives and ropes	This is a very serious risk if there are any accidents because if the person holding the props isn’t concentrating on what he or she is doing, he or she could easily cut another person.	Again this could be very likely because when it comes to props, especially like knives even if someone is slightly touched with the knife, this could still cause perhaps a very serious accident.	8	The only control measures that can be done when using dangerous props is simply be extra careful and always concentrate when using them. Another control measure is get hold a fake props especially props like knives.
Filming whilst moving up and down a flight of stairs	Even though this isn’t perhaps the most dangerous hazard, there is still a chance that it could lead to an accident which is why it is a risk. If someone is either walking up or down the stairs and they aren’t exactly concentrating as they are being filmed, this could lead to them tripping and falling down the stairs.	This could easily happen and the likelihood of occurrence is in fact very high.	4	The only control measure there is when it comes to walking up and down a staircase when being filmed is simply be extra careful.
Driving at night on an unlit road	Driving a car on a unlit road can be a serious risk as it could potentially lead to the car hitting something or someone as the driver may not be able to see, which could lead to the person being hit getting injured and the person in the car also getting injured as they could hit something big like a tree.	This could likely happen, especially because it was winter when we were filming and it became very dark very early into the day.	6	The only control measures that can be done is firstly either find a safer place to film where the roads are more lit or if the filming has to take place in the area where the road is unlit, then whoever is driving the car must drive slowly and carefully.
