HEALTH & SAFETY

HEALTH & SAFETY




When looking at Health and Safety you have to take into consideration things such as;

  • how the risk assessment would be carried out


  • what hazadorous things could be of obstraction and harmful


  • how to control the risk



In every work environment you are required to apply health and safety at work rules and regulations :

  • inspect the premises and make sure it is safe to work in


  • check equipment and materials


  • risk assessment carried out in all premises used to avoid causing harm to others


  • always maintain spacial awareness and surrounding


  • who could be affected


  • consider the most vulnerable (disabled, frail etc)


  • note areas where there are sharp corners and edges that may be of harm


  • poor lighting can cause strain on your eye sight


Health and safety are essential for the film industry to run. It ensures that there are no hazards, which can harm people in the industry. There are many rules and regulations they have to abide by.In my film, my industry is made up of four people Paul Willis, Saima Jannath, Dionne Zara and I. According to the Health and Safety Work Act (1974), the location manager, Production Manager or First Assistant Director, has to carry out Health and Safety risk assesment.In my Industry each safety rule would have details of the person responsible for the rule, and will have instructions on how the rule should be followed. We discussed what rules we should establish, to ensure we are safe during shooting and editing of the film. We decided to make notes of what to do if we are in a dangerous situation e.g. The film shooting was mainly at Paul's house, if there was a fire we would organise ourselves in a straight line, and escape thorough the nearest exit - back/front door, then call the fire brigade.We made a list on the rules we should follow.(We did follow all these rules except the 2nd and fifth rule) - we did not shoot at night and we did not use any weapons.
