4. Identify potential hazards; who could be affected; how they could be affected; and list the control measures that will reduce the risk. University H&S policies can be found here.
Hazards or hazardous activity
Who may be affected?
Crew, actors, participants (documentary), crew, helpers, public.
How may they be harmed?
Type of injury or health problem that might result i.e. cuts, bruises, fractures, electric shock, burns etc.
List the control measures you will put in place to reduce risks from the hazards to an acceptable standard
Control measures should ultimately reduce the overall risk. Do not purely rely upon providing Personal Protective Equipment or rely on just ‘being careful’
Evaluate the probability and consequence
Indicative values for P column (P = Probability)
L = might happen, but unlikely
M = could happen
H = will probably happen
Indicative values for C column  (C = Consequence)
L = can return to filming work after minor attention
M = person unable to work for 3 days or longer
H = permanent injury or death
