Ensure students are trained in how to handle lights before they use them. Ensure students understand the H&S precautions associated with filming on location. Where possible, use battery powered cameras rather than mains cables. Ensure students are aware of the hazards of filming in communal spaces before commencing film projects. Where possible, use battery power rather than mains and nominate a group member to be responsible for H&S.
