Health and safety

This section is about health and safety in the locations where we will be shooting our multi-camera production; the TV Studio in College. When talking about health and safety there are three main items to look at when dealing with a potential health risk; Hazard – Risk – Action. ‘Hazard’ is possible danger, for example the set’s flats falling down; this could be a hazard because if it fell then it could damage the set or more importantly seriously injure someone. ‘Risk’ is how likely the hazard is of occurring; either low, medium or high; in this example it is a fairly high risk as if the flats are not securely erected they can easily fall down. Finally ‘action’; what you would do to prevent this from happening, and in this case it would be ensuring each flat is securely erected.
