Activity Location: Various locations
Who is at risk: Actors/crew members

HAZARD:	RISK LEVEL BEFORE: (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)	RISK LEVEL AFTER: (HIGH, LOW)	CONTROL MEASURES: (REDUCING THE RISK TO A MINIMAL RISK)
Filming on the field. If wet or slippery, the crew/actors could fall over	MEDIUM – Members of the production could get injured if they slip over	LOW – It wasn’t wet or slippery on the day of filming	To reduce the risk we was careful when on the wet ground and made sure we did not run
Using Candles – Fire risk	HIGH – When using the fire, things that are flammable could easily catch fire	LOW – Make sure the candles are not lit when unattended	To lower the risk when burning the candles, we made sure to have a bucket of water on set and also not to leave them unattended at any time
Trip hazards – Wires in the hoover scene	HIGH – The wires could be left out and a member could fall over them and injure themselves	LOW – Make sure that wires are tucked away and easily visible for the crew to see	To do this we tidied all the wires and had yellow tape over them to make them more noticeable to see
Knife	HIGH – The knife is sharp so somebody could cut themselves if misused and or could slip when handling it	MEDIUM – Make sure the knife is correctly handled and that is only used when needed	To lower the risk, we reminded all actors that the knife prop is not fake and that if misused can cause damage or injuries
