Planning: Risk Assessment

Risk	Severity  #/10	Avoiding Risk
During the first visit to the location I actually grazed my leg on a concrete bearing whilst trying to climb through a gap so this is the first risk I thought of.	4-6/10	To avoid this we, and the actors, can simply be more careful in where we’re walking and avoid anything that could potentially harm us
Tripping on twigs/branches, there’s a large amount of twigs and branches lying around on the location and depending on how hard you trip/fall it could be a massive risk.	2-7/10	We have to be very careful in general when moving around the location because it’s very likely that we’ll end up running into this problem so watching our step will be the thing to do in order to avoid this.
Banging heads or equipment, such as camera fixed on tripod, on the metal framing around the abandoned building. This could result in a concussion for us or the actors and hundreds of pounds worth of damage to school equipment.	6-10/10	Pre-warn the actors about the bars and ask them to be careful when entering. As for the equipment we as a group have to be extremely careful and watch every step to ensure that we don’t deal any damage to the equipment.
Collapsing of the building is a massively high risk although very unlikely.	10/10	We checked around the location prior to choosing it to ensure that it was a safe place to shoot and there wouldn’t be any risks to us, the equipment or the actors.
Due to the weather conditions there is an excessive amount of mud around the area we have to travel through to get to our filming location, although this is a particularly low risk we still need to consider its avoidance.	4/10	Dressing appropriately for the weather would be the initial path to take, so wearing boots or shoes with a good grip.
