Hazard table

Step 1 - Look for any hazards that may occur

Step 2 - Think about who may be at affected and who is at risk.

Step 3 - Consider the chance and severity of harm that each hazard may cause, taking existing control measures into account.

• avoid the risk completely if you cannot do this then,
• reduce the risk to acceptable levels;
• provide instructions, and protective equipment if the risks cannot be controlled,
• reduce risk at source by developing safe systems of working

Step 4 -  The findings of the risk assessment should be explained to the people who may be affected by the risks, this means ensuring that everyone knows the likely risks and the required control measures. Keep a copy of hazards/risks for reference if needed during filming.

Step 5 - Review Your Risk Asssessment

New hazards can be introduced if any changes when filming. Risk assessments should be revised following any significant change or when they become out of date. If there have been no changes, the assessment should be reviewed at least once every three years to ensure that the precautions are still working effectively.
