Risk Assessment

Title of project/experiment/activity – “Hyde Hotel” film opening
Locations of activity The Bridge Inn – Brompton-on-Swale			Start and end dates 2nd January to the 18th February is the period set aside for filming at these locations
Brief description At these locations we will have a crew of 3 people, 1 crew member and 2 actors. We will be utilizing electronic equipment such as DSLR cameras and lighting rigs to record various scenes in and around the locations for a video.
Hazard	Effect	Control measures		Residual risk
Falling Debris	Potential loose ceiling could cause head injuries or other such injuries as debris falls	Only film in downstairs locations as it is the upper ceiling that is potentially loose, check the ceiling before filming and if possible use netting to catch debris		Filming in locations that have been checked for ceiling integrity will greatly reduce the risk
Unstable Flooring	Potential loose floorboards could lead to tripping hazard or leg injuries for cast and crew	Only film in downstairs areas as the flooring is stable, check the floorboards that will be used to film on safely and make sure all cast and crew are aware of the hazard		Minimal risk as the unstable flooring is upstairs and we will not be filming there
Unsafe Electrical components	In some areas of the location there is loose wiring that could lead to electrocution	Avoid filming in any areas that have exposed wires, if that is impossible keep the cast and crew well away from the wires and cordon them off		Reduce the risk if we do not film anywhere near them , if we have to then the cast and crew will be fully aware
Broken Glass	Some rooms are not tidied up and occasional shards of glass could lead to cutting injuries	Every member of cast and crew to wear protective footwear in and around the location, when filming sweep and tidy the area so all hazards are cleaned up		Removes the glass by sweeping it away so the hazard is greatly reduced.
Rusty Nails/Protruding objects	Some doorways have jagged edges and protruding nails which could lead to cuts	Check every doorway that we will use to film for hazards, if we find a hazard we will not use this doorway. First Aid kit on standby to deal with any incidents.		Awareness of this risk and by checking the location will reduce its possibility of causing injury.
Trip Hazards (stairs, steps)	Tripping could lead to injury and bruises, potential concussions	Make sure every cast and crew member is aware of a trip hazard, even potentially mark it out with hazard tape to make it visible.		This risk will be reduced greatly when the cast and crew are aware of it so they will be able to avoid the hazards.

Personal Protective Equipment required Sensible foot wear for when working in wet conditions and potentially unstable flooring

Emergency Instructions & First Aid In the case of an emergency call the emergency contacts we have on the production sheets, basic first aid kit will be at the filming locations and we need to make sure we have the ability to call 999 on a working phone

Any special monitoring required None

This risk assessment should be reviewed if additional risks not covered in this assessment are identified or if there is any reason to indicate that the control measures are insufficient.
