This risk assessment identifies four potential hazards for a student filming project: carrying heavy equipment, bumping into others, dropping equipment, and tripping over wires. The degree of risk for each hazard is minor or non-reportable. Existing control measures include making people aware of filming, putting up signs, securing equipment properly, and checking for wires. Further actions planned are telling staff about filming locations and moving any dangerous wires. The overall risks are evaluated as acceptable with existing and planned control measures in place.
