Health and Safety

Risk	When		Planning
Hypothermia	Outside for long time in cold wind and bad weather conditions allows risk of hypothermia.		Make sure actor wears warm clothes with lots of layers, ensure that the cast have regular breaks to warm up, check weather forecast beforehand and attempt to pick a warmer day with better weather.
Road accident	Character has to walk along road in part of my film.		The road is quiet so traffic shouldn’t be too much of an issue but be sure to stop filming immediately and move off of the road if a vehicle is coming.
Falling over	Ground in field may be muddy and slippery due to bad weather.		Ensure that cast and crew wear appropriate footwear for walking in a field. Try to avoid the muddiest parts of field.
Water Damage	Camera or equipment could be exposed to water damage due to bad weather conditions.	Check forecast beforehand and only film on days where no rain is forecast. If rain starts then finish shot I’m on and pack up and reschedule to film on different day.
