Health and Safety Checks

Possible risks at location 1;

1) Near by car park
2) Stairs
3) Students throwing things from classrooms above

Forms of risk prevention;

1) Incase of any cars which may pass in order access the building through this particular car park (there are other more used car parks on the premesis, so this one is fairly unused anyway - limiting the chances of hazard) but we will take precautions and avoid the road as much as possible. for the chaotic running, we may need to cross the road in a disoriented manner, so actors may not be paying much attention to on coming cars - to prevent any accident will have someone standing by to keep a look out for any cars to alert other members of the cast to wait before commencing filming.

2) When running down the stairs we will ensure there is no water (or any other slippery liquids), no litter, or anything else on the stairs that may accidentily trip over.

3) We intend to film outside school hours at approximately 1:00, as school time finishes at 12:00 - 12:30, giving half an hour for the school to empty so we can begin filiming without interruption, or without causing interruption. this will also ensure classrooms above are empty so no students can drop anything from the windows if for some reason, they wish to do so..

Possible risks at location 2;

1) Cars
2) Falling over on gravel
3) Animals

Forms of risk prevention;

1) This location is near a main road, not directly next to it, but on the road leading off it. However it is rarely used. it is near to the Sheldon Country Park, and farm, so some may want to access it through this road, and so will have some people on constant look out.

2) As children are running around and playing in the back ground, we will ensure they are wearing suitable footwear to prevent them slipping on the uneven, gravel floor

3) As the location is near a farm it is possible that animals will be around, however it is a cold, wintery season and so the farm may either be closed, or animals be put away. it is unlikely that the farm will recieve many visitors anyway in such a cold month, also decreasing the risk any traffic.

Possible risks for location 3;

1) Throwing of objects on desk
2) Cracking the photoframe
3) Throwing photoframe at wall.

Forms of risk prevention;

1) The objects on the desk will be plastic, and so unbreakable, like empty moisturiser or shampoo bottles. or maybe to seem more realistic we will have objects made of harder materials - so less likely to smash but if used we intend to place a pillow or soft object off screen for them to land on safely. also, when the leading female throws these objects off the desk, me remarni and jodie will stand clear as to avoid being hit.

2) We have decided to use a plastic photoframe rather than a glass one, as we are going to split the plastic so the sheet is just cracked, not shattered and so will not leave any small shards of glass which may be hazardous. when breaking the photoframe we will wrap it in a cloth so that any broken bits will fly out and hit us. with this in mind we will take extra precaution by wearing goggles to protect our eyes.

3) We feel that when the photo frame is thrown at the wall it may rebound and hit us, so after throwing we will quickly move out of the way. also, we will not need to have the photoframe thrown very hard as we will break it seperately, so reducing the rebound caused (if any).
