Professional Practices - Health and Safety Examples

 Greeting Humans

Today is Wednesday the 30th of 2020

We are learning how to be safe humans when it comes to do an event, the examples that we did in class was relating to filming but we will be using these techniques to do the exhibition at the end of the year. 

So we were giving a situation to pick from, and have to do a risk sheet to prevent possible injuries during the recording, I picked:

"You are filming at the Beach; an actor is playing a dead body for 6 hours during shooting. They are lying in a rock pool."

I picked this situation as I have been brought up at the beach (Omaui) and I know some risks at the beach. Here is my filled out Risk Register form, with the Risk Matrix chart below to help fill out this form.

After filling out the Risk Register form we would start recording and follow the precautions to prevent the possible injuries.

But lets say even though we followed everything and did everything we could do to prevent something happening, for example the actor/actress did get hypothermia, what would we do? We would have to fill out an Injury or Illness Investigation form.

So the example is if this happens:

"You are shooting for 1 hour past  the wrap of the actor/actress, it is brought to your attention they are currently in a car at location with hypothermia"

Here is the form that I filled out if this did happen.
