This risk assessment document evaluates the risk of lighting stands falling while students take photos in the college photography room. The document identifies Baldeep Gahir and the models as persons at risk of a minor injury from falling stands. Existing control measures involve moving the stands away from people before shooting. The action plan is for Baldeep to ensure the stands are in a sturdy position and kept at a distance to further control the risk.
