This risk assessment document identifies hazards for students filming and taking photos on campus. It lists hazards such as falling down steps, slipping on muddy ground, and tripping over furniture. The degree of risk is assessed as major for all hazards. Existing control measures include hand railings, paved pathways, and separating furniture areas. Further actions may be required such as additional control measures and assigned responsibilities.
