This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards students may face while filming or taking photos around the college campus for a media studies task. It identifies three specific locations - outside the sports hall where cars drive, in the theatre with many stairs, and in the crowded media classroom. The degree of risk for each hazard is rated based on worst possible outcome and probability. Existing control measures are noted, such as drivers being aware of students near the road and stairs being clearly marked. The action plan requires students to pay attention to their surroundings when filming in each location and not interfere with other student groups.

Drivers are meant to be safe and
aware of students.
The stairs are marked out to
make people aware.
Students were told to be careful
when shooting in crowded areas.
Me and the group I am
working with will be aware
of our location and pay
attention to any cars,
We will be safe around the
stairs when shooting.
We will create our own
space and keep out of other
group’s space who are also
shooting.
