Health and Safety

During the production of our video a lot of care will have to be taken with the safety procedures undertaken within certain for the duration of filming.
Such as:
• Using a flare correctly
• Creating and maintaining a safe bonfire
• Choosing a safe area for a bonfire
• Driving the car carefully and responsibly
• Care needs to be taken in the chemistry labs

We also got parental permission for the young girl (Rachel Smith) this is because she is under the age of 13 and the need for parental permission is essential, since she is part of our media production.

When using the flare we made sure that Alex was going to use it, since he is a responsible adult. After the flare has been used we shall dispense it in a bucket of cold water, to prevent any injuries.

When creating the bonfire we shall check the bonfire to make sure that there isn’t any aerosol or flammable items that may cause an explosion once lit, which can lead to injuries. We will also have buckets of water near the bonfire, just in case it goes out of our hands.

We are going to light the bonfire at the bottom of the garden away from the house and trees, this is so that they don’t get set on fire.

Since we are having a moving vehicle in our film, we have chosen a responsible adult to drive the car (Elliot Smith). We will only be reaching small speeds of 10 mph, to provide maximum safety,

Finally care needs to be taken in the chemistry labs. This is because we are mixing chemicals and we need to make sure that we are mixing the correct chemicals in a safe environment.
