Planning: Filming

Risk assessment


Possible risk that could occur during filming:
The actress could burn herself with the lighter or cigarette
Outcome 
A painful but not too serious burn
Actions to avoid potential outcomes
The actress will be careful when using the lighter and cigarette, they will not be kept lit when they aren't being used.
Further comments
As the actress smokes she is used to using lighters and cigarettes so is less likely to accidentally burn herself and will take full responsibility if she does.

Possible risk that could occur during filming:
Someone could get cut on the blade
Outcome
Potentially a serious cut
Actions to avoid potential outcomes
The blade will be handled with extreme care and only when necessary.
Further comments 
If any cuts are sustained they will be cleaned and dressed immediately.

Possible risk that could occur during filming
Someone could stab herself with the needle
Outcome
A minor injury
Actions to avoid potential outcomes
The lid will be kept on the needle unless it is being used
Further comments
The needle will be a new and sterilised needle to ensure that if somebody does get stabbed with it they will not get any infections.

Possible risk that could occur during filming 
Somebody could trip over the tripod
Outcome
A painful fall which could result in serious injury
Actions to avoid potential outcome
The tripod will be kept packed away unless it is being used
Further comments
The area we are filming in will be kept clear of things that could cause serious injury should a fall occur
