Risk Assessors comments: Any Filming involving higher risk elements should be blocked in a manner that allows for the safest approach possible.  1st aid kit should be available / accessible at all times and continuous care, warnings and reminders given to crew about the inherent risks of the location.
Production Safety Advisor comments: Care and responsibility should be taken by all relevant department heads for both their teams and their equipment / department.  Each individual crew member has a responsibility to themselves, one another and the production and vice versa to take note of the above risks and actively note all the necessary risk aversion measures and precautions.  If at any time a new risk is detected or precaution seen to be failing by any crew member it is the responsibility of that crew member to notify the relevant department head, production or the 1st AD and have the precaution rectified.
Agreed by: Producer Name: Joe Bloggs
