Music Video Coursework : Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment is a systematic process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking.
The purpose of risk assessment includes the prevention of any risks, and this should always be a goal. Where elimination of risks is not possible, the risks should be reduced and controlled.
This really seemed like such a waste of time but when you think about it, in the real life world, working on a location with actors/actresses, it is very essential that you care for their needs and make sure their safe. If something does happen, it relies on you to solve it and so risk assessment makes it easier to check what to do rather than panicking in the heat of the moment.
