FMP RISK ASSESSMENT

This document is intended as a basic template to assist in the completion of a risk assessment for film production activities.Detailed information is available from a variety of risk management and risk assessment specialists. Useful information can also be obtained from the Health & Safety Executive www.hse.gov.uk

When conducting a risk assessment, consider all the likely hazards; who may be harmed, property which may be damaged, and the controls already in place. Then, for each likely hazard, bearing in mind the controls already in place, record the ‘risk assessment’ level. The further action(s) to be considered will be determined by the level of risk assessment.

FURTHER ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Working Alone Ending up without a

direction to work or a necessary helping hand

Patryk or Taylor None Being able to contact with the

well as being able to relay work to each

other through cloud sharing services

Moderate/Moderate Develop a plan for a situation when one of us is not present

so that we are always on track

Progress being slowed down/lost due to equipment

being lost or malfunctions

Patryk and Taylor Computers, Graphical Tablets,

Computer Accessories, General

Electronics

Replacement equipment and the ability to repair the broken equipment if

it’s all possible

Low/High Regularly check equipment for any wear as to prevent any malfunctions

Data Loss Ending up with lost files that then need to be

Patryk and Taylor Hard Drive and/or Computers

Backups made on several different

hard drives

Moderate/Extreme Use other services to store data such as cloud storage

recreatedStress Overworked, may

cause us to be less efficient as well as create additional problems (such as creating more game bugs due to less concentration)

Patryk and/or Taylor

None Being able to take breaks when

necessary

Moderate/Low Have a plan of how many hours to work

for and when to take breaks

Problem with working

environment (Fire/Building

Structural Failure)

to go back to
