Hazard	Risk level before: High, Medium or Low	Control Measures:	Risk level after: High, Medium or Low
Trip hazard on wires or props on the floor	Medium as you may fall and hurt yourself but will not be life threatening.	Keep all items out of the way and make sure everyone participating is aware of anything that is left around.	When filming this was a low risk as we ensured that we moved all harmful objects before we brought equipment, actors or camera people to the location.
Fire from the candles on birthday cake	High as the clothing or surroundings could set on fire and could be lethal.	Keep all clothing away from fire and make everyone around aware also don’t use the fires until it is needed.	This was still a high risk during filming but we ensured our actors understood the risk and they stayed away keeps clothing hair away so it became low risk and no hazard happened.
Mirror breaking	Low as the mirror is not likely to break	Make sure the mirror is sturdy and that the actors are a certain distance away.	This showed us no risk during filming as the mirror was sturdy and we was all a reasonable distance away from it.
Cutlery with breakfast	Low as they could stab themselves but would not be life threatening	Make sure the cutlery is held appropriately and not left anyway unhanded without crew being aware.	We did not end up shooting this shot.
Walking up the stairs to get to certain rooms to shoot in	Low as most people can walk up the stairs safely	Make sure everyone walks safely up and down the stairs at a solid pace	This caused us low/no risk as the actors and crew could easily walk up and down the stairs.
Chocking on food	Medium as if they choked it could be fatal	Make sure each person eats properly.	This was still medium risk but we ensured our actors eat properly so there was no risk.
Electrocute	High as it could be life threatening	Keep all electricity away from water and put into sockets securely.	There was no water near the plugs so the risk was reduced.
