Dear all,
Our Company owns and manages a large amount of land in the London area.
We have given permission for a film crew to park a caravan overnight on part of our land.
My question is, should persons who are sleeping in said caravans be doing so at their own risk or should we be asking for some kind of fire risk assessment / H&S risk assessment in case something happens and these people are injured or die as a result of fire etc...
I would think as per Section 5(?) of the HSAWA we are required as land owners to highlight potential risks that we are aware of?
I just cant get my head around this one
Thanks in advance

This may be a normal activity of film crews.
Ask them what arrangements they normally have in place for being on other sites. Then you can address any concerns.
Consider, waste, hygiene, security, fire, deliveries, access, resticted areas etc etc

Please ensure your lawyers prepare a temporary assignment whilst the crew are on site; this alleviates any worries you may have, and properly prepared will keep all parties appropriately protected.

We had a similar event; i got all of their risk assessments, safe working procedures, method statements to ascertain that they knew what they were doing and asked our insurance company if they were happy to insure the risk of them being on site overnight.
A few discussions; lighting tower; environmental consideration for toileting and welfare facilities (cassette toilet in van was not OK we had to bring in portaloo) and all was fine and dandy.
At the end of the day it was a one off and the insurance company would pick up the tab if it went fubar! a grand time was had by all and our PPE had never been seen so clean!

At the end of the day it was a one off; it was outside our experience, beyond our scope and competance; and the insurance company would pick up the tab if it went wrong.
