Pitch: Risk Assessment

This is to make sure that we are responsible when on location and have considered the safety of everyone involved in the filming from the contributor, the crew to the general public. Throughout the filming day we have to consider what the potential hazards are, what injury could result from this hazard and how the risk can be reduced or avoided.

Moreover we have a moral obligation to ensure the safety of everyone we are working with.

General safety:

• Hold the camera equipment upright and securely
• Look where we are walking - especially when we are crossing the road -  and try to take routes that are less packed
• We must make sure we all know where each other are
• We must make sure the tripod is on a balanced surface when we are using it and when not in use, out of the way to avoid tripping
• The weather may be typically British on the days we are filming so my group and I will ensure we are carrying a large umbrella to protect the filming equipment (and ourselves!)
  
  

Safety hazards at Angel Station: there are many people rushing about, so we must be careful to not drop the camera and equipment! We must also make sure we are not nuisances and get in peoples way.

Safety hazards at Angel Square: there a quite a few stairs in that area so we must make sure we watch our step!

Safety hazards at Owens Field: we need to ensure that we don't slip if the mud is wet as it is a grassy, muddy area!
