Blog 12 Health and safety


During the filming of our music video we had to carry out a rick assessment to ensure that we were all safe. We carried out a risk assessment down at the beach for the tide being out, despite watching the steepness of the steps on the way down, and the shattered glass by the bench we had nothing else to take care around.


Some of our footage involved driving a car and accelerating at a fast pace, after carrying out a risk assessment we decided that this was fine, but only when their was not any other traffic around.


For our video we were using a replica gun. We failed to carry out a risk assessment on using this item. this costed us dearly because it turned out that using this prob in public was illegal. the result of this was having the police around our houses, eventually having the prop taken away from us.


i have learnt that it is very important to carry out a risk assessment to ensure the safety of all the crew, it is also important to carry out an assessment to ensure that you are not breaking the law.
