Risk Assessment-

A risk assessment is an evaluation of all the possibly hazards that could occur to cast and crew during filming. They are used by the production crew of the film/ video but everybody must take it into consideration. They include usual or environment specific risks such as tripping or a car accident. We have risk assessments because they allow people to think about the possible risks and prepare for them. They are used to reduce the risk of injury. This is important as it means recording can go smoother and no cast or crew is injured.
