Wearing the masks affects your ability to see clearly, add to this is the darkened set has the potential for injuries. To prevent this we will rehearse using the masks. The size and shape of the nose on my mask affects the way that I will fall; to prevent injury I will have to turn when falling or I will be injured.
In this piece we have many tumbles, flips and falls. To decrease the risks, we will use a crash mat and rehearse these stunts with great care. We must focus on timings and physical body shape. We are also sourcing clothing that does not hinder our movements.
In our scene we are using a large hammer and a slate nail. As these are not replicas, there is potential for accidents so we must be extra vigilant to not hit or injury anyone with these objects.
The large blue cable running along the stage left is a potential trip hazard, so if possible we will move it out of the way or be made aware of it. Other objects left of the stage, may also be a trip hazard; so any personal objects must stored off stage.
This shows clear risk assessment, although it might have been slightly better to use one of the templates we looked at online, which would be more industry-standard.
