I know it may sound a little bit blunt and to the point but I just went straight to a job description website to gain the information needed for the role of a location manager.

"Location managers are responsible for making all the practical arrangements necessary when filming or photographic shoots take place outside the studio. Productions are made in a wide range of locations; location managers need to research, identify and organise appropriate sites."
Researching the site includes gaining information on whether the site is safe, whether there are enough toilets, food outlets for instance pubs or local cafes. When shooting outside is the place accessible, whether any power genarators or batteries will need to be taken if there is no mains electricity. A location is very much responsible for delivering a detailed and well produced risk assessment on the site; to determine whether the potential location for a shoot will be safe.
