This document summarizes a risk assessment for students filming and taking photos in a college Mac room. It identifies potential hazards like electrocution from electric equipment, falling off chairs, and things falling off wall displays. For each hazard, it lists the persons at risk as students, the worst possible outcome, the probability of occurrence after existing control measures, and the current risk rating. It also describes existing control measures and any further actions needed to control the risks.
