Risk assessment

It is important to consider risks before filming, as this is part of a health and safety procedure that is vital to the film world. It is done to reduce the chance of anyone on set to become injured. As a group we need to spot the potential risk, consider a plan to reduce the risk and document the process. When working in a place where bad whether has made the ground particularly wet, we would analyse the risk and think of ways to reduce it, such as making sure everyone is in suitable footwear.

A risk assessment will assist me when filming as there will then be the reduced chance of anyone; either myself the camera operator, or any actors to become injured during the process of filming. It is also clarification that you can't be responsible for any accidents, unless its a risk that has not been analysed.
