Key Points

Prior to an outside broadcast, location shoot or event, a risk assessment using the BBC risk assessment process must be undertaken. A record of the risk assessment must be held on site and the identified mitigation measures implemented before the event commences. The following factors must be considered:

The location of the event and its proximity to residential areas.
The density and volume of smoke, fumes or odour which are going to be produced.
The adequacy of mitigation techniques and other pollution control measures.
