Risk Assessment

How to assess the risks in your workplace

Follow the five steps in our leaflet: Five steps to risk assessment .

1. Identify the hazards

As you might think, it is a silly process of identifing the risks which may occur during filming. However, if you think about it, you might think of many!!! For example, as we use a lit of lights in our title sequence, and an ELECTRICAL SHOCK might occur. Also there is a possibility of TRIPPING AND BREAK YOUR NECK . In addition, we use STRING AND NIDDLE in our title sequence which might be dangerous

     2. Decide who might be harmed and how

Well, as you think about it, everyone could be harmed. For example, a cameraman could trip over and break his neck. Or we, by accident of course, might drop a string with the niddle, and some one could step on it. Basically everyone is in danger!!

    


     3. Evaluate the risks and decide on precaution

In my opinion, the possibility of those risks and hazards happening is very low. If somehow they would happen (and they wouldn't) there will be no any danger to your life. For example, stepping on the niddle is, of course, harmful, however, there will be no any danger!

Don’t overcomplicate the process. In many organisations, the risks are well known and the necessary control measures are easy to apply. You probably already know whether, for example, you have employees who move heavy loads and so could harm their backs, or where people are most likely to slip or trip. If so, check that you have taken reasonable precautions to avoid injury.
