Hazard no: 1 Risk Factor (1-5): 5

Description Alcohol/Drugs:As our music video surrounds the theme of youth and ‘delinquent’ behaviour, we intend to use props such as drugs and alcohol. This hazard rates at a 5 and thus is one that needs precaution taken upon.

Person(s) exposed (de-tail if cast/crew (C), out-side company (O) or public (P) )

The cast of A Young Understanding will be exposed to the props of drugs and alcohol as they will the the ones using the props and act-ing with them. The cast may also be exposed to drugs and alcohol as they may also have to handle them between shots. Further, as we are to be filming in a public place, such as the park, there may be children/pedestrians in the surrounding area when filming.

Action to take Instead of using real drugs and alcohol we will use fake ‘prop’ drugs/alcohol, by taking alcohol bottles and filling them with water, or using fake tablets in place of drugs. We will make sure all actors that are to be seen using any alcohol/drugs are over the age of 18 and have full permission to be filmed. In order to avoid any pedestrians or children being exposed to any prop drugs/alcohol we will film these shots between the hours of 9am-3pm in order to ensure any children will be at school - if there are other members of the public at the park we will inform them that we are filming.

Description Camera Equipment:We will be using camera equipment when filming each shot at the park this could be a potential hazard due to the fact that those ex-posed to any equipment may trip over any wires and any electronic equipment has the potential to break/electrocute those using. As this hazard rates at a 5 it is one we must take precaution on.


All cast and crew of A Young Understanding will be exposed to any camera equipment when filming. As we are filming in a public place (the park) members of the public and potentially children may be ex-posed to any camera equipment used.

Action to take In order to ensure there are no accidents surrounding the camera equipment used in a public area we will keep the equipment to a min-imum, using simply a camera and filming ‘hand held’ syle shots - this will minimise all potential dangers (e.g wires, tripods, lighting) as we will be filming between the hours of 9am-3pm to avoid school chil-

dren, the natural light will work in place of any electronic lighting equipment. Further, all cast and crew will be made aware of the equipment we are to bring on set (a digital camera) - if there are to be any pedestrians at the park they will be informed that we will be film-ing and to avoid our equipment.







Description Audiences: As we are to be filming in a public area (the park) we may be ex-posed to members of the public - this may include elderly people or children. It is important that we take precaution to any members of the public in order to avoid potential dangers.


All cast and crew of A Young Understanding may be exposed to audi-ences when filming. As we are filming in a public place (the park) this means that we face the potential of an audience.

Action to take In order to avoid an audience becoming a hazard to our filming process the action we intend on taking is to film between the hours of 9am-3pm this is in order to avoid school children. Any members of the public that we do face when filming will be informed of our filming and asked to avoid certain areas/actors in order to avoid any distrac-tions.







Description Smoking On Set: As our music video surrounds the theme of youth and ‘delinquent’ behaviour, we intend to use props such as cigarettes. This hazard rates at a 3 and thus is one that needs precaution taken upon.


The cast of A Young Understanding will be exposed to props such as cigarettes as they will the the ones using the props and acting with them. The cast may also be exposed to the cigarettes used as they may also have to handle them between shots. Further, as we are to be filming in a public place, such as the park, there may be children/pedestrians in the surrounding area when filming.

Action to take Instead of using real cigarettes we will use fake ‘prop’ cigarettes. We will make sure all actors that are to be seen using any cigarettes are over the age of 18 and have full permission to be filmed. In order to avoid any pedestrians or children being exposed to any prop ciga-rettes we will film these shots between the hours of 9am-3pm in order to ensure any children will be at school - if there are other members of the public at the park we will inform them that we are filming.
