RISK RATING

Severity (A) multiplied by Likelihood (B) gives a Risk Rating between 0 and 100.

A)        Severity:                     Fatality (Fa)               10        Major injury (Ma)      8

                                    Minor injury (Mi)       6          Damage property     4

                                    No injury (No)           0

The above assessment is valid as at the date below. Should the activity change substantially, a further assessment will be required.

Compliance with the control measures and precautions should be monitored at all times.

B)        Likelihood:                Probable (Pr)                        10        Occasional (Oc)       7

                                                Improbable (Im)        2

Risk ratings up to 40 need attention, but generally not urgently.

Risk ratings between 40 and 70 will require action, with urgency dependant upon where in the range they lie.

Risk ratings above 70 will require urgent action. Work will almost certainly have to stop until risks are reduced to an acceptable level.

MANAGEMENT ACTION – CONTROL MEASURES AND PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED

In order to remove or minimise risks, all personnel involved in the activity should adopt the control measures and precautions listed below. If already in place, they should be re-assessed to ensure continuing effectiveness.

HAZARD	CONTROL MEASURE PRECAUTIONS	Completed ü
1. Running away from the camera	I will need to make sure that the grass is not wet so that when the actress runs she doesn’t trip over.
2. Walking in the night to the location of filming	I will have to make sure I take a torch so that when we walk we don’t trip over.
