  PHOTOGRAPHY SHOOT RISKASSESSMENT This document is intended as a basic template to assist in the completion of a risk assessment for film production activities. Detailed information is available from a variety of risk management and risk assessment specialists. Useful information can also be obtained from the Health & Safety Executive www.hse.gov.uk When conducting a risk assessment, consider all the likely hazards; who may be harmed, property which may be damaged, and the controls already in place.
