Health and Safety

There are several risks in filming this project. Here is a list of them and precautions that should be taken against them.

• Hazardous ground - the streets we will be filming on may be uneven, injury by tripping is possible. The risk is increased by the fact that for some shots, the cameraman has to be walking backwards. The risk would be decreased if the ground was inspected first, so particularly hazardous areas may be avoided.
• The public - We will be filming in a public area, as such, members of the public could be collided with, or could trip over our equipent Injuring the public and the public injuring one of us should be avoided through care and avoiding crowded areas.
• Weather - if there is rain, the ground could be slippery and the camera could suffer water damage. Filming in the rain should be avoided.
• Equipment hazards - Injury could be sustained through the equipment we will have with us e.g. tripping. This could be avoided with care and attention to our surroundings.
• City-dwelling animals - Animals that live in cities such as cats and pigeons present a unique threat. They could attack, or transmit a disease to one of us. They should be avoided.
• Vehicles - Public vehicles such as bikes, cars, buses and electric skateboards could injure any one of us by crashing into us or our equipment. This should be avoided by filming away from roads and cycle paths.
