Health and Safety

A risk assessment analyses what hazard, harm and risk a set-up pertains; 
  • A Hazard can be defined as anything that has the potential to cause physical injury or damage to health, the environment or to property.
  • Harm is the adverse effect on an individual that may result from exposure to a hazard
  • A Risk is a measure of the probability of harm being caused and the severity of that harm.

Within a studio set-up there are a number of safety measures and precautions that need to be taken to ensure safety, it is each person who is working in there responsibility to maintain high level of health and safety. Wires within a studio setting can be a tripping hazard so it is important to unsure that any wires are taped down or are winded around the equipment out of the way of the path that people are walking. With using a studio there is the risk of electric shock with using the electric equipment to ensure this doesn't happen make sure to keep a look out for open wires and make sure to tell someone who maintains the studio, they also come with an emergency stop button in the case of an emergency so to be safe make sure you know where that is. With the set-up below you can see that is a relatively safe environment, all of the wires are out of the way of everyones path so there are no tripping hazards, you can see the emergency stop on the left hand side on the wall.


When filming out and about its important to keep all of your equipment safe and make sure non of it gets stolen, if you are filming make sure you are still aware of your surroundings and that you are not near heavy traffic areas etc.
