Advert Production Risk

Assessment
This is a brief overview of my risk assessment that will be strongly
considered during filming times for my advert. Further risk
assessment duties will be carried out by a member of the production
team who of which has experience in this sector.
Whilst conducting my risk assessment I have prioritized all possible
hazards, which may be at most risk of harm during filming, damage
that may occur to both possessions and location, in my risk
assessment I will also state ways to prevent this from happening
and actions I will take if it does happen. I will also state the risk level
using high, moderate and low rates. Finally I will inform of some
methods put in place to contribute it support if these events do
happen.

The actor will be

the actor will be

Filming at less

Using less

and country
roads is a
possible
solution to
prevent
crowded
areas; it is a
hazard
because
someone or
something
can get
broken due
to very little
personal
space.
A source of
security may
be provided
for extra
reassurance
for safety
and
someone

The

to cover
