Risk assessment form 

Hazards	Who is exposed Who may be harmed	Level of risk	Control measures Measures being taken to minimise risks identified	Level of risk once controls are in place
Roots and hanging down tree branches in the woods.	My actors who are walking and running through the forest	Medium	Make sure I check the location out first and guide them to a safer route if there is a hanging tree branch in the way	Low
Prop –   bloody knife	Certain characters in my film.	High	Everyone keeps a safe distant from the knife and not to run when holding the weapon. I would transport it by using fake bloody knife for transport and a real knife for the shot and killing of people . It would be used in the scene by having the killer hold the knife before killing the person .	Quite low because a fake knife will be used for transportation and i will make sure to give the actor a blunt knife when it comes to acting out the killing of the victim to avoid any injuries from happening.
Road outside my house	All characters crossing to get to the forest	Medium	Make sure that you are looking both ways and to be careful as it can get busy at times.	Low
When the camera is on the tripod	All characters	Medium	Be careful of the tripod and warn everyone before filming that scene that the tripod is there so that people do not trip over the legs of the tripod.	Low
Wet mud  The stairs in my House Filming outside of my house	All characters All characters All characters	High Medium Medium	Be careful when walking in the mud over the forest as characters could slip and fall over so if you see a part of the forest with mud then avoid it . Make sure that any objects are out of the way of the stairs as actors could trip and fall over. Make sure to check if people are walking past the pavement and make sure that the tripod is set up and positioned properly. And check to see if the pavement is wet as my actors could slip and fall over.	Low Low Low
