Risk Assessment for Mollie's Set


Risk Assessment for Mollie's Set

In order to have a safe, hazard free run of filming it was necessary to have a risk assessment.
Due to filming this in my own house I was aware if there was any risks or problems that could arise.

The problem that I had to be cautious about would be to make sure that all floor area were spillage free to  prevent any risk of anyone falling or slipping over. To prevent this I checked that all surfaces were spillage free before the rest of the team and actors to my house.
Similarly, I checked that there was nothing that were constructing any exits such as chairs in case we had to get out of the house quickly for if there was a fir or something.
Also, I checked that there was no obstructions on the stairs to prevent any risk of the actors falling or tripping in scenes. This was very important as I didn't want anyone to fall over and hurt themselves.

When filming outside I had to make sure that pathways were clear and that the actors knew their route and how to avoid anything that was in the way. Therefore, we did practice runs of getting out of the house, closing the door and walking out of the drive along the lane. I think that this made the actors feel more comfortable and that they were more confident in what was happening and their surroundings.
