Risk Assessment

Location 1
The location is situated on the bank of a small river, in a heavily forested area.
The location is sometimes used as a walking route, and few hazards are present, though those that are can be considered very dangerous.

The bank becomes incredibly muddy after recent rainfall, meaning that it is possible for anyone who isn't careful to slip on the pathway or the bank.
As they will be the only ones running, this hazard presents the most danger to the actors, and also the crew members carrying heavy or valuable equipment, as loosing your footing is made easy with heavy equipment.
This hazard is considered intermediate, and can be remedied easily if the cast wear appropriate footwear and care is taken with the equipment.

The bank might also be made hazardous in dry conditions, when the ground may be prone to fracturing and parts of the bank can easily drop away.
When this occurs, it presents a threat to the crew, the actors and the equipment, if any are standing too close to the edge.
This hazard can be considered uncommon, as there hasn't yet been a case of it happening, and can be easily avoided as long as the cast and crew keep a safe distance away from the edge of the bank.

Another risk is that of large stones and branches or roots hidden by the foliage.
These present a threat, as they usually aren't noticed until someone has already tripped over them.
This presents a hazard mostly to the actors, again because they will be the ones running.
This threat is the most hazardous, and can be considered common.
This hazard can be avoided as long as the cast and crew are careful, and know to watch for the hazard.

The river itself poses a threat to the equipment, as even though it is shallow, the current is quite fast-moving, and any equipment that is dropped can easily be carried away or broken by becoming waterlogged.
This threat can be considered uncommon, as long as the crew take care not to drop the equipment.

Location 2
The second location is a small room located in Wem Town Hall
The location is relatively safe, and is commonly used by members of the Town Hall and Thomas Adams 6th form Media department, however, some hazards are present.

The most obvious danger to the cast and crew are the various boxes stacked under the tables, which present a tripping hazard to anyone who isn't careful, both cast and crew.
This hazard can be considered uncommon, as the cast and crew will be able to see the boxes unless they aren't being careful.

Another hazard is that of items stacked on top of the tables, which could fall if disturbed.
This hazard can also be considered uncommon, as the objects are quite visible, and disturbing them can be easily avoided.

Yet another hazard is that of loose wires, which can be seen on the floor and along the walls.
Whilst these pose no immediate threat, a frayed wire could expose the current within, which can be dangerous if brought into contact with bare skin or, alternatively, the wires could be a trip hazard.
This hazard is also considered uncommon.
