Two Production Assistants Levi De Sousa and Crimson Wright will be tasked with taping down wires using the provided gaffer tape and will act as Grips where necessary e.g. dolly shots

Meeting before the scenes to detail potential risk and for all cast and crew to be vigilant for potential accidents. The music video shoot is in a marked off space from the general public so there will be no interference. Furthermore, this Risk Assessment Form and all other documentation has been displayed on a Blog for all cast and crew to see 2 months prior to the shoot: http://ndkmusicvideo.tumblr.com/

Hazard no: 15 Props Risk give further details. ie there is a risk that...
The whiteboard with the black hole needs to be securely positioned so it does not fall on the cast or crew. The wheelie chairs needs to be used with care as we cannot risk our actors falling off and hurting themselves on the Hall floor/ marking up the Hall floor The somersaults that the actors will be undertaking will need to be cushioned by a series of securely laid down gym mats (provided) and tested prior to the shoot

The whiteboard will be securely positioned by myself with a stand and monitored throughout the shoot The wheelie chairs and gym mats will be laid down by Levi De Sousa and Crimson Wright with supervision from myself.

Kimberly Veck and /Chlore Ridout will conduct make-up tests on the girls skin prior to full application. The actresses have also been asked if they have any allergies relating to make-up and none have any issues so we will be covered. The actresses are supplying their own costume and will be made fully aware of what they are doing in each scene prior to the shoot. If their costume is damaged at all I will pay to have it repaired/ replaced.
