This risk assessment document identifies four potential hazards for students taking photos in a college location: wet weather, bags left on the ground, wet mud, and a busy area. The degree of risk for each hazard is listed as minor or unlikely. Control measures that have already been implemented include advising caution in wet weather, moving bags away from footpaths, finding dry spots, and asking people to go around the photography area. Further actions planned include continuing to advise care in wet conditions and busy areas.
