Planning - Health and Safety

Health and Safety

As a group we should ensure, that we and others who we are working with are not exposed to risks to their/our health and safety. An example of what may be considered as unsafe would be if the location we were filming was taking place in a warehouse with poor lighting. It would be appropriate to ensure that extra lighting is used and that all sharp or otherwise hazardous equipment is removed.

To help improve the health and safety we place ourselves with we could have at least one experienced member of the crew who is aware of health and safety issues from where we are filming.

Some parts of our music video may pose more risks than other scenes i.e. when we are filming the main character driving. As a group we will discuss safety issues before filming begins and take steps to avoid or reduce the risks identified

The instruction above is what we are going to be adhering to whilst filming our music video. So for example while we are filming a driving scene we will identify hazards that could cause us as a group risk, such as members of the public and other road vehicles. We would then apply controls, which in this case would be waiting until the road is clear and safe. Then we would have to review the effects of this to make sure the controls are improving our safety. And finally we will be assessing the risk to ensure what we have done in not unsafe and dangerous.
