HEALTH AND SAFETY

Professional film crews take health and safety issues VERY seriously. The line of responsibility runs from the Producer to the Production Manager and 1st Assistant Director and finally on to all crew members who have a duty of care which is recognised by law. If someone can see the potential for an accident and does nothing to try to prevent it, they can be held responsible in some way, probably along with their senior colleagues.
When filming, people have many things on their minds, things can get rushed, and hazards and risks can increase. Even simple things can become dangerous because this is not an ordinary situation. Of course, all of life presents hazards, but if someone is asked to run down hill repeatedly to get the scene right, for example, the risk of them tripping and falling on their face is increased with each time they do this. If the hill is pavement rather than grass the risk of serious injury is increased.

No smoking/drinking near equipment.

No running around/messing about on the shoot

No shouting in a public place

No filming on a road at any time.

Be aware of your environment

Be responsible on a shoot, you are representing the college

Cover camera if filming in rain  - use an umbrella

Think of the weather – dress appropriately

Don’t ask your cast to do stupid stunts, be responsible for them

No filming in a dangerous place.    

IMPORTANT

MAKE SURE YOU TELL YOUR TEACHERS WHERE YOU ARE           GOING TO BE FILMING !!!   

I agree and understand the above health and safety for my short film and will act responsibly
