This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards students may face while taking photos in college. It identifies wet weather, large clusters of people, corners with limited visibility, and moving equipment as potential hazards. The document rates the risks of each hazard as minor or non-reportable for students, given existing control measures like using two clear pathways and ensuring sensible student behavior. The action plan is to check weather forecasts, keep pathways clear, and ensure no clashes occur to minimize risks.
