Risk Assessment
It is important that we have a risk assessment for many reasons, the main reason for a risk assessment is to ensure the safety of the cast and also the film crew and any others that may be on set throughout the duration and the production of the film. In order for the risk assessment to be the most effective then we must clearly outline the possible risks, methods of preventing the risks and you must also assess how dangerous the actual risk is.

This is an example of a real risk assessment, this one is laid out in a table format, this makes it clear to see and means that you can produce a detailed risk assessment without having to write sentences and paragraphs.
