Health and Saftey


Definition- “Organized efforts and procedures for identifying workplace hazards and reducing accidents and exposure to harmful situations and substances. It also includes training of personnel in accident prevention, accident response, emergency preparedness, and use of protective clothing and equipment.” 
 

Health and safety in the studio was a vital aspect we needed to take into consideration, not only for our crew but the cast as well. This was due to the fact we had the responsibility of them for the day. One of the main hazards was the potential risk of fire, we were using a lot of smoke and due to being in an enclosed space we had the risk of the fire alarms going of if the fire doors weren’t shut correctly.
Another issue was smoking; this was prohibited by the studio as it was a potential fire hazard. Throughout our shoot day we had no complications with these fire hazards. Although there were others, we used a dolly in order to use a tracking device and this was a potential hazard as the camera man is pushed around sometimes at a fast pace and a third person has to wind up the wires in order for no one to trip up and hurt themselves. There was nothing obviously dangers on our set or in the studio. There were a few props hanging around which could have been in the way and a potential risk, due to the fact it was so dark and there were hardly any lights. But apart from that we had a safe shoot day.
