Oscar McCracken was taking photos in a college shipping container for a class project. The risk assessment identified tripping over rough ground as a potential hazard. The probability of injury was rated as possible and the worst outcome was considered a minor injury. Existing control measures included taking photos on flat ground and notifying security. No further actions were required.
