HAZARD:	Risk level Before High, mediocre  or low	Risk level After High or low	Control measures Reducing the risk to a minimal risk
Failing down the stairs	Mediocre because there will be nothing on the stairs that the actor can fall down, however, she could still trip over her feet, so there is still a chance that she could hurt herself.	Still mediocre because there is nothing that I can do to make her not fall over her feet apart from warning her before she goes down the stairs, but there is still a chance that she could fall over.	Make sure appropriate foot wear is worn so that there is a reduced risk of slipping and falling. Also she could look down as she goes down so she can see what she is doing and as a result reducing the chance of her falling over.
Tripping when running	High: because there could be certain cracks in the pavement where she could fall over them or there could be stones that could make her unbalanced.	Mediocre because there will always be a chance of the actor falling over but I will point out all the places that she needs to be careful of so when she gets to that part she can easily go over it avoiding her falling over.	Make sure appropriate foot wear is worn so that there is a reduced risk of slipping and falling.
Camera woman falling over and crack equipment	High: because when doing a tracking shot the camera woman could drop the equipment and the camera may crack.	Low because with all potential trip hazards removed and things that could injury someone if they fall are removed.	Make sure appropriate foot wear is worn so that there is a reduced risk of slipping and falling.
Family members getting in the way	High: Could get in the way of shots which will make the shot lose the effect on the audience because they will now be detached at what it going and will watch the people that are accidently getting in the shot	Siblings and parents are kept away from shooting areas so they can not intervene.
Hit by a car when crossing the road	High: because when crossing the road a car may come out and hit us.	Low risk because camera woman will keep the equipment away from the roads so they cannot get hit. However for the actor when she crosses the road I too have to look out for her when crossing so we avoid getting hit by a car.	Making sure that we look both ways when we cross.
