Risk matrix – use this to determine risk for each hazard i.e. ‘how bad and how likely’	Likelihood of Harm
Severity of Harm	Remote e.g. <1 in 1000 chance	Very unlikely e.g. 1 in 200 chance	Unlikely e.g. 1 in 50 chance	Possible e.g. 1 in 10 chance	Likely e.g. >1 in 3 chance
Negligible  e.g. small bruise	Trivial	Trivial	Trivial	Low	Low
Slight  e.g. small cut, deep bruise	Trivial	Trivial	Low	Low	Medium
Moderate  e.g. deep cut, torn muscle	Trivial	Low	Medium	Medium	High
Severe  e.g. fracture, loss of consciousness	Low	Medium	High	High	Extremely high
Very Severe e.g. death, permanent disability	Low	Medium	High	Extremely high	Extremely high

Risk Assessment Form – Part B

Activity1 – Each individual activity you are proposing:			Location – where this activity will take place:	Dates / times:
Hazards2 List what could cause harm from this activity e.g. falls from height, trip hazard, fire, etc.	Who exposed List who might be harmed from this activity e.g. staff, contractors, contributors, public, etc.	Risk3 For each hazard, decide level of risk as if you were to do the activity without your controls	Control measures For each hazard, list the measures you will be taking to minimise the risk identified e.g. appointing competent persons, training received, planning and rehearsals, use of personal protective equipment, provision of first aid, etc.	Risk3 For each hazard, decide level of risk once all your controls are in place
Assault by person	Fran Trowbridge, Dan Baugh, Matt Doyle	Trivial	Watch-out for people when we start filming on the high street.	Trivial
Allergic Reaction	Fran Trowbridge	Low	Do not disturb any dust any-where and keep her away from trees.	Trivial
Nuisance Noise/ Vibration	Fran Trowbridge, Dan Baugh, Matt doyle	Low	Before we start filming alert people around us what we are about to do and ask them not to make excessive noise.	Trivial
