Set Health & Safety Risk Assessment Form

Assess health and safety risks on set, capturing hazards, controls and first-aid cover so your production keeps cast and crew safe.

Description

A safe set is a well-assessed one, and documenting the risks is both good practice and a legal duty. This set health and safety risk assessment form captures the hazards on a shoot and how they’re controlled, so your production protects its cast and crew and has the paperwork to prove it.

It records the production title, location and shoot date, the hazards present on set, and a table pairing each hazard with who’s at risk and the control measure. It confirms whether a qualified first aider is on set and that all crew have been briefed, signed off by the assessor.

Share the link with your production and safety leads so assessments are done before the cameras roll. A documented assessment keeps everyone safe and covered. Customize the hazards, add your branding, and embed it on your site or share a link in minutes.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Set Health & Safety Risk Assessment Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a set health and safety risk assessment form?

A set health and safety risk assessment form documents the hazards on a film shoot and how they’re controlled, recording each risk, who it affects and the control measure. It gives the production a clear safety record, so cast and crew are protected and the legal duty to assess risk is met.

What should a set risk assessment include?

This form records the production title, location and shoot date, the hazards present on set, and a table pairing each hazard with who’s at risk and the control measure. It also confirms first-aid cover, that crew have been briefed, and the assessor’s name and role.

When should a set risk assessment be completed?

Before filming starts at each location, and reviewed whenever the shoot or hazards change. Completing it in advance means controls are in place before anyone’s exposed to a risk, and crew are briefed on the day rather than discovering a hazard once cameras are already rolling.

Who fills out a set risk assessment form?

The production’s designated health and safety assessor, often a first AD, production manager or safety adviser. The form captures the hazards and controls, so the person responsible for the set can show risks were identified and managed before cast and crew arrived.

Why pair each hazard with who’s at risk?

Because a control only works if it targets the right people. Linking each hazard to who it affects — crew, cast, public — and the measure that manages it shows the assessment is thorough and specific, not a box-ticking list, and makes the controls genuinely actionable on set.

Is this risk assessment template free to use?

Yes, completely free. Add or remove fields, adjust the hazards and controls to match your set, and restyle it to your brand, then embed it on your site or share a link — no coding needed. A free Fun Forms account lets you collect risk assessments.
