RISK ASSESSMENT RECORDING FORM
Location or Date Assessment
Address: Priestley College, Loushers Ln. Undertaken: 06 February 2017
Activity or Review
Situation(Photoshoot) Date:
(1) Hazard Risk (2) Who might be harmed and how?
Electronic Doors The cast and crew could potentially
be harmed by the doors at the
reception if they were to potentially
malfunction.
Roads/Moving Vehicles. The road is a potential danger as
vehicles pass the road on a regular
basis, and if someone from the cast
or crew was to accidentally step on
the road they could get hit by a
vehicle entering or exiting the
college.
Natural Disasters The area we are using is rich in
trees and if one was to break and
fall down it could cause fatal
damage to a member of the cast or
crew. An earthquake is also entirely
possible.
1. List hazards something with the potential to cause harm here:
Seek to quantify the level of risk the likelihood of harm arising based on the number of persons affected, how often they are exposed to the hazard and the
severity of any consequence.

(3) What controls exist to reduce
risk
The risk of the door malfunctioning
is very slim, but it is a possibility
and we have to take this into
account. Caretakers of the college
can ensure a safety test is
completed every few days to
ensure this does not happen.
We do not have the right to stop
people from entering or exiting the
college by any means. However,
the cast and crew need to make
sure that they are careful in their
positioning and their overall
awareness of the space around
them.
There is not much control we have
over natural disasters, but we
could ensure before the
photoshoot that the weather is dry
and that any trees nearby the
location are not fragile and are
tightly in place.
(4) What action can be taken
to further reduce risk?
A regular test and safety check of
the doors could be conducted by
caretakers to ensure potential
malfunctions are kept to a
minimum.
We have no control over stopping
vehicles entering the college or
exiting, so we are limited to what
we can do. However, if the cast
and crew are careful in where they
are standing and how they move
around the area; everyone should
be fine.
We have no control over natural
disasters. However, if the
caretakers of college were to
check around the area for any
potential dangers, this would
greatly reduce the risk of anything
dangerous happening.
 2. List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified
3. List existing controls here or note where the information may be found
4. List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take. Have regard for the level of risk, the cost of any action and the benefit you expect to
gain.

RISK RATING

a SEVERITY b LIKELIHOOD c FINAL SCORE RATING: what needs to be done

5 Dying or being permanently disabled 5 Will almost certainly happen 16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is
controlled
4 Serious injury/long term illness 4 Highly likely to happen 10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action
straight away to control the risk
3 Temporary disability/3 days off sick 3 Not so likely 6-9 Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and
make a plan to do something about risk
2 Will need medical attention 2 Even less likely 3-5 Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep
possible action in mind
1 Minor injury eg. Bruise, graze 1 Unlikely to happen at all 1-2 Low or trivial risk. No further action
required.

SO: a x b = c
