Health & Safety

There are various health and safety concerns for me to take mind of in my production. I have 4 separate shooting spots for my film, each requiring different health and safety precautions.
Our first location is the Everard arms pub. This is a chain pub situated in corby. I will be using this to film only a couple of shots for the introduction of my film, using the back room. The permission comes from the fact that one of the cast works there so we have full permission to film there. We will have to pick a time when it is either closed or not very busy to avoid interruptions and causing any issues. We will have to be careful with any probe or equipment due to it all being used in a small space. Due to the small amount of risk, this is a low level risk assessment.
Our second location is situated within the school, the Mac room. This is quite an isolated room and is one of the least busy areas of the school. This works well as it means there is little chance of interrupting any students in lesson. Secondly, we must also be careful of the equipment in the room as it is very expensive and it could possibly harm me or those around me if they were to fall and smash. I must also make sure that the glass reflections don't harm the shot and still allow me to get a good scene taken. I will also be using quite a lot of small props for this shot, so I will have to be careful not to leave the place messy incase somebody potentially trips up. This is also a low level risk assessment as we are in a safe and protected area.

Our third location is one of the cast members house. This is used in a planning shot before leaving for the mill. This is one of the safer places to film as it is within someones bedroom. Still, we must be careful of our surroundings and not cause any harm to ourselves or others. There is pets there so we must be careful for them incase anyone has any type of allergy that may be a risk. This is also a low risk area as we are at somebody's house and there is little possibility of an accident.
Fourthly, our final location is a concrete mill. This is an old shutdown concrete mill on the outskirts of town. It is potentially quite dangerous due to us filming here in the dark as well as there being potentially old machinery about. Because of this, we must not go in the mill and instead get shots around/outside it for safety reasons. We must stick together as it is quite a bit within the woods, incase one of us got lost. We have a trained first aider and will make sure to bring a kit with us incase of any small accidents. Finally, we will al come clothed appropriately to transverse the woods. This is a medium risk. It is quite out of the way and through a trek of woods, coupled with filming in the dark there is some quite serious risks here to be aware of.
