Health and Safety

When we are filming there are lots of different things that we constantly need to be aware of. Most notably is the equipment that we're using. There is a danger of faulty electrics and tripping over leads therefore when using this equipment we will need to take extra precaution. However, this hazard can be avoided by making sure all our equipment is working properly and that all plugs are turned off at the wall when they are not in use. Additionally, we will need to be aware of our location that we are using, London. We will especially need to watch out for our equipment in case they get stolen or damaged. Weather could also be a factor as if the weather has been unfortunate then it will be wet and slippery which can lead to us slipping over and damaging the equipment and most importantly injuring ourselves. One way that we can avoid this is to wear appropriate clothing when we are not filming to make sure we do not. Due to London being a very busy place, we will need to be careful when filming on the street therefore awareness of traffic will be essential and we should stand as far away from the road as possible to make sure that there is less of a danger.
