Please ensure that ALL staff & students (where necessary) are made aware of the findings

Identified hazards Who might be harmed & how? What are you already doing? What further action is necessary? (write “none” if appropriate)

Car that will be driven in the trailer.

Driver of the car, actors and film crew. The car could not be in complete control and might hit someone, or something.

The person who is driving the car, will have a drivers licence, insurance and MOT on the car. Seat belts will be worn by people who are in the car. The driveway that the car will drive up, will be occupied by the filming crew at times and risk will be reduced by the car being driven in a slow and controlled manner.

If the weather conditions are icy and hazardous, then grit will be put onto the driveway, to add traction. Furthermore, rock salt will be laid down to help reduce the amount of ice.

Pond

If anyone goes into the pond and takes in water, then the risk of drowning might be high. If any crew member is holding equipment when they fall into the pond, then the equipment is likely to get damaged.

The crew and cast members will be kept clear of the pond and will be aware of where the pond is on-site when they arrive, so that they know which area to be cautious of.

If the ground surrounding the pond is icy, then extra caution will be taken when the cast is near the pond for a crucial reason.

Animals

The dogs that are on-site, could jump up and hurt person/s or damage equipment. In addition to this, there is a donkey on-site that could bite people or walk on the equipment.

The dogs will be in a secure room, and the film location will be cleaned before those who suffer from allergies arrive on-site so that an allergic reaction risk is heavily reduced. The donkey will be locked away in a separate field and this will be done by the owner of the donkey who knows how to move the donkey in the best way possible.

The fences ect that will hold the animals back will be checked to ensure that they can’t be knocked over.

Fire

For a few of the scenes in the film, we will be having some paper that is on fire. This could cause harm to the cast and crew of the trailer, but also cause damage to the surrounding area and buildings.

To control the use of the fire, we will be using the minimum amount of flammable material, minimal fire accelerant and will have a fire extinguisher on site and close by in case the fire gets out of control. Due to the scenes with the burning paper being outside, the damage to the buildings will only be on the outside, and to reduce this risk we will film a moderate distance away from the buildings.

All members of the cast and crew will be told when the filming of the scenes with the paper begins and ends, and will all be told where the location/s of the fire extinguishers are prior to filming. In addition to this, everyone will be aware of the location of the first aid kit/s that will be present in case of injury.

expected when filming. The places that will pose the biggest threats to general accidents will be showed to everyone when they arrive so that they know where to take extra caution. These places will be expected to be the stairs, and any very uneven surfaces.

Action Plan from “further action” By Who By When (Date)

If you have written something in the further action box (above right) then you need to add some details here about how you will make the activity safer.

Who will make the safety changes?

Date by which changes / assessment must be made.

Grit salt being placed on the driveway and paths if there is ice or risk of it potentially snowing whilst filming to allow people to walk more safely and the car to have better traction on the driveway to reduce accident risk.

The crew that first arrive on the scene will do this so that the area is safer for the rest of the cast and crew.
