Safety of contributors
We should not ask contributors to expose themselves to significant health and safety risks while taking part in our output unless we have completed a BBC risk assessment form and conducted rigorous fitness and psychological checks as appropriate.
We must ensure that our contributors recognise and accept all the identified risks in writing.
We must ensure we do not encourage contributors to put themselves at risk when using recording equipment including small cameras and video phones to gather material.
If any material is gathered by ourselves or by contributors, by recklessly or wilfully endangering anyone, the BBC may decide not to broadcast it and may take disciplinary action. Those responsible may also be liable to prosecution.
