SHOOT PLANNING: Health & Safety

POTENTIAL HAZARDS:

• Extremely cold weather
• Rainy weather
• Snow/hale/ice 
• Near main roads with lots of cars going by
• Cars going by in underground car park 
• Drowning underwater, having to hold breath underwater for periods of time
• Losing pieces of equipment 
• Travelling with lots of equipment

STEPS TO CUT RISK OF HARM: 

• Wear lots of jackets and warm clothing when outside on shoots.
• Make sure there is a place nearby to go inside to get warm after periods of time outside on shoots. 
• Pack all equipment in one big suitcase, instead of having everything kept in separate bags - which results in the likelihood of losing equipment. 
• Bring umbrella for the cast and to put over the equipment in case of rain, hail or snow when on shoots outside. 
• Schedule shoots for the days when there isn't any rain, hail or snow. 
• Bring little box to keep all SD cards in so they are kept safe and accessible and to prevent the likelihood of losing them. 
• Use zebra crossing appropriately/as one should, when filming across a road.
