This risk assessment identifies potential hazards for students taking photos in college. The hazards identified are tripping on wires and drink spillage on cameras. The risk of these hazards is rated as non-reportable and possible with existing control measures in place. Existing controls include setting wires away from standing areas, setting up equipment mostly behind a screen, and not allowing drinks in the room. Further actions planned are ensuring everyone remains aware of surroundings and keeps drinks away from cameras and wires.
