Risk assessment

What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is a document which allows everyone on the set to know what the dangers are whilst filming, how to prevent them and what to do if the risks occur.
Who uses them?

The director creates the risk assessment, with everyone involved in the shoot being aware of the risks involved, so they know with each particular shot what to watch out for, what to do if the risk happens and how to prevent the risk all together.
What do they include?

They include risks to equipment, health, these could be things to do with action, weather or set related, it then says how likely the risk is to happen and what can be done to avoid the risk.
