The risk assessment document identifies potential hazards students may face when taking photos outside the Hampton Building for a media studies class. Hazards include blocked fire exits, faulty electrical wiring, weather conditions like rain, and broken equipment. The likelihood of injury from furniture, weather, and electrical supplies is minimal with existing controls like tucked-in chairs and secured wires. Further actions are needed like checking weather forecasts, ensuring safe wiring, and being aware of the fire extinguisher location.
