OBJECTIVESUnderstand Health & Safety in the workplace

Identify the types of injury that could occur

Understand the use of risk assessments

Know how and why location recces are completed

Be able to describe various safe working practices

KEY WORDS

Risk Assessment: A process of reviewing potential risks

that could be involved in a project

Safe Working Practises: Tell someone how to complete a task with minimum risk

Location Recce: Visiting a location to check it’s suitability for filming prior to recording

STARTER:Set the hazardous classroom out – students are to identify the potential hazards, recording them as they go!

There are lots of different things in a classroom that could be dangerous.

Complete the worksheet: “Health and Safety Identify Activity”

Record anything that you think could be dangerous in the classroom.

SAFE WORKING PRACTISES: These are often put in place after a risk assessment to give instruction on how tocarry out a task safely. Safe working practices can be set out for many tasks, evenstraight forward ones just to minimise the risks a person may face when doing a job.An example would be as follows:

Risk assessment in a science lab identifies a danger with using chemicals. Safe working practices are implemented to ensure students wear goggles.

EARLY STAGES:A location recce is typically carried out before recording a video to test the suitability of a location.

Someone visits a location to check: Suitability for filming Potential Problems Access to site Facilities available Potential light / sound issues Permission required
