When I was making my short film I had to be aware of the health and safety hazards which could occur. I had to make sure that there wasn't anything which could cause any risk of injury or harm. I had to make sure that when I was filming all my actors were safe by telling them what could cause an accident so they were aware. For example when I arrived at the location where I filmed the detective scenes the room had previously had work done to it so there was a lot of dangerous equipment left on the floor. To resolve this I made sure all the equipment was put away and we cleaned the floor incase there was any glass or nails.
Here is an example of risk assessment for a camera platform: Production wants to use a tower scaffold as a camera platform. The producer delegates the task of conducting the production risk assessment to the production manager.
Hazard - Falling objects and equipment
Who is at risk? - People at ground level
Controls - Toeboards fitted
Severity of injury - Serious
Control measures - All equipment secured to scaffold and no loose items.
When I was filming the scenes in Old Town I made sure that the area was safe as we were filming on a road. There was also a building site so we had to film further down the road.
