Risk Assessment- Miss Georgiou

Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is important to plan around any risks that could take place. A risk assessment makes sure that hazards that are on set or could harm anyone are prevented and reduced so no injuries occur. A risk assessment also means that an area is made safe enough to work in so that no one is hurt. It also makes the crew-members aware of the risks and hazards. By already planning a risk assessment it means that it won't interfere with our time filming but also reduces the risks of crew members becoming injured. Being aware of the hazards on set means time is not wasted and people are not in risk or danger of getting injured.  

As a group, when managing the equipment, we remembered about our risk table and we followed it well doing everything it told us to do to ensure we are all safe and no hazards are available. We were all mindful of the risks and comprehended well into knowing what we have to do if something did happen. We likewise knew to be careful around set and we had other choices and methods we could follow in the event that we didn't feel that the hazards were reduced and somebody in the crew had a chance of getting hurt. As a group we also took after guidelines and knew about any risks that could of occurred. We followed the risk assessment well and this helps prevent any injuries that could of occurred or been caused. When we was filming, we encountered one problem which was the weather as it was raining and this would damage the camera. This would affect everyone taking part in the sequence and the impact of it is very high. To prevent this, we shot for the most part on sunny days and days that we knew it wasn't going to rain. This kept any harm to the camera furthermore didn't keep us from recording. However another option is to hold an umbrella over the camera and his would prevent the camera from getting wet, This would be helpful as it doesn't prevent the on-screen characters from filming and it also protects the camera from any damages that may occur.

In conclusion, risk assessments are essential in light of the fact that they stop the actors and the crew members from getting hurt or injured from any risks. They additionally make the team mindful of any potential risks that could be any harm to anyone. The risk assessment additionally helps the group to be more watchful on set and to prevent them from harming themselves. It additionally highlights risks that individuals didn't realise that were actually risks and this make a more secure and better environment for the crew and actors to all work in together. Making a risk assessment has taught me to have a back up plan, to prevent any injuries and mistakes and also what to do if anything bad did happen therefore, I feel as I have learnt how to stay safe and how to prevent any serious harm to me, my group members or anyone around us.
