Risk Assessment

Risk	Explanation	Prevention
Travel to locations	Traffic Accident	·         Ensure all passengers wear seatbelts ·         Travel in college checked minibuses ·         Have a responsible, licensed teacher drive
Fall/Slip	·         The mud and the scattering of props (e.g. the fallen tripod) on location could cause a slip ·        Climbing over the gate could cause a fall ·         The gap between the cells and the main ground cause be misjudged/forgotten and people could fall down into the trenches	Make sure everyone is aware of the dangers and make sure they are careful when around them
Being punched	During the filming of the fight scene, actors could accidentally actually punch each other, causing injury to the other actor and potentially themselves	Film the fight scene in slow motion and speed up in editing ·         Make sure to direct the actors to punch each other VERY lightly so that the punches will look believable in editing but will cause no harm in filming
Struck by hammer	·         When filming a break in with a hammer or the hammer smashing a victim’s face, the hammer could hit a person	Direct the actor holding the hammer to keep a tight grip, and, where possible, keep the hammering away from other people, and yourself ·         When filming the murder, make sure the hammer is swung in very slow motion so it can’t accidentally hit someone in the face, and again, keep the tight grip so it won’t be dropped on anyone
Ingestion of make up	·         The SFX make up could be swallowed, i.e. the fake blood ·         The eye makeup could get into wearer’s eyes	Use edible fake blood, made with a base of golden syrup, so that eating the fake blood would not be harmful, but instead taste great ·         Be careful with the application of makeup, and come prepared with water to be able to remove any in-eye make up immediately
