- Hazard to Health and Safety
- Risk posed and to whom
- Risk Level (H/M/L)
- Control measure to reduce risk
- Further action needed to reduce risk
Transport:
Standing in the street in Walton to get the shot of Jess through the window
from the stalker’s perspective (could have got hit by a car if we were too
focused on shooting). Danger when travelling to destination by car. Moving
vehicles (lorries) in school carpark. Students looking wrong way when crossing
road. Student falling down stairs. Walking across roads. Be cautious when
walking/driving to filming location and be aware of surroundings. Aim to cross
roads at designated pedestrian crossings. Always have a person looking for
incoming cars.
Weather: In the
forest it was slippery due to rain (danger of falling and injuring ourselves).
Danger of getting clothing wet and becoming too cold. Wet camera when filming
outside. Students bring appropriate clothing suitable for all weather and be
cautious when walking on slippery surfaces.
First Aid Issues:
Trips/Falls – could trip over in the dark room. Could come into contact with
harmful chemicals in the dark room. Brambles in woods. Carry a first aid kit at
all times, aim to have a first-aider on stand-by, identify areas of danger
(e.g. brambles or chemicals).
General Public
(e.g. theft or assault): Outside in the dark on the street (danger of potential
assault or kind of incident). Threat of pick-pocking in Walton (not a large
risk as we are not in a crowded location). Students causing incident with
member of public. Students stay in groups when in public spaces (with mobile
phones), do not approach members of public or respond to provoking comments,
students to remain in supervised conditions, do not film late at night, follow
guidance of emergency personnel.
Accommodation
(e.g. risk assessment from centre): No overnight accommodation
Major Public Incident
(e.g. terrorism): Not applicable as there is minor chance of a terrorist attack
in a small town. In the case of one: Ensure venue has assembly point and pupils
know where it is, as well as giving pupils assembly points whilst on public
transport. Ensure pupils know the national advice to run if possible and hide
if not. Ensure pupils know to always follow police instruction. Issue pupils
with printed emergency contact card detailing school landline and school mobile
– instruct them to call if they become lost (as well as alerting security
official). Ensure trip leader has a school mobile and also contact details for
both the school and all pupils + families
