This risk assessment document evaluates various filming activities and identifies potential hazards. It rates the risk of each hazard as high, medium, or low. Precautions are outlined to minimize risks, such as having someone monitor the camera at all times when positioning it on stairs or in wooded areas. Activities like running in corridors or hanging from doors are marked as requiring awareness of surroundings to prevent falls. Filming near water also necessitates close supervision of equipment and awareness of proximity to the river to avoid equipment damage or drowning. The risk assessment should be reviewed during the activity or visit and is signed off by the reviewer.
