Risk Assessment - Miss Georgiou

Risk Assessment 

A risk assessment table is a table that list various different types of hazards along with methods that could prevents these hazards. These have been created for safety so that less damage is caused and so that people know how to prevent these or solve them. These make everyone more aware of their surroundings and make them more cautious. It is important to consider and be aware of the risk before filming the sequence to avoid any little minor or severe harm done to anyone. Furthermore, it would also make everyone more knowledgeable in terms of safety and give them the benefit of knowing how to avoid these harms. Also, it's vital to know before filming so that we can bring appliances and equipment with us in case there is an injury or difficult situation e.g ladder if member is stuck in tree, torch if it's too dark to see. In addition, it's very important that all members are kept out of any potential harm as this could then impact the whole group therefore impacting on the sequence, if one member gets harmed this could lead them to not being able to be present within the sequence. Also, there is no adults or supervisors with us, to we need to be as knowledgeable as possible so that we know how to avoid these risks and also how to deal with them. 

The risk assessment will help assist me within my filming as it will make all members aware of the potential risk and also give them all a better understanding of how we as a group could avoid and deal with this risks. Furthermore, it will also help us with our filming as we will know where to place objects while we are filming to avoid harm and damage e.g we will keep all lose wire and objects to the side so that no one falls over and hurts themselves. It will also make all members that are part of this project aware of the consequences so they would be more cautious within their movements to avoid any harm. 

When we were filming we encountered more risk such as tripping over logs and sticks on the ground. This could of been prevented if we were looking where we were going and if we used a torch to see where we were walking in the dark. Furthermore, we also encountered stinging our hands on thorns and sharp bushes. This could of been prevented if we wore thicker materials such as gloves so that this wouldn't happen. Also we encountered treading in puddles which then caused any ground that we walking on afterwards to become more slippery. This could of been prevented if we wore clothing such as wellies or boots so that the surfaces were less slippery or if we were to avoid the puddles by looking where we was going using a torch.
