(3) What controls exist to reduce
risk
Fencing on and around the bridge,
preventing this from occurring.
make people aware of the danger.
Lots of people around meaning a
much lower chance of anyone
stealing or trying to steal any of the
equipment.
Most of the equipment has straps
and are very safe.
To control the amount of risk we
can make sure that everyone on
set is made aware of the risks that
can occur.
Make sure the weather is checked
before the shoot, and an umbrella
is brought just incase.
(4) What action can be taken
to further reduce risk?
Don't go near the edge of the
bridge or platform.
Don't leave the equipment
unattended.
Make sure that everyone is aware
of the danger and knows how to
use the equipment properly.
Making sure that we check the
weather forecast before filming
