This risk assessment identifies hazards for a student taking photos on campus. The hazards include weather changes, tripping over equipment, foot traffic, lighting conditions, and insects. The degree of risk for each hazard is minor or non-reportable with existing control measures in place such as covered areas if it rains, visible equipment, walking on the left, and available lighting. Further action plans include checking weather reports, roping off equipment, and notifying first aiders of pest allergies.

There are places to go undercover if
it starts to rain, and there are
buildings near to go into.
The bench is a birght blue so it is
easy to see.
Walking on the left to avoid
congestion and accidents
There are lights from the buildings
and outside lights available.
Insect Repellent and there are
buildings near by the go in.
I, the photographer will make
sure to check the weather
reports before the shoot starts
so appropriate equipment is
brought to the shoot i.e
Umbrellas.
I shall rope off the area around
the bench so no one will pass
through our shoot.
I will check if anyone is
allergic to pests such as wasps
or bee’s and if they are, notify
the first aiders.
