The risk assessment document identifies potential hazards students may face while filming and taking photos on campus. Key risks include falling over on steps, being hit by a car while filming near a road, dropping cameras on feet, collisions while focusing on photos, slipping in rain, and tripping down a hill. Control measures are in place like handrails and strip lines, but further actions like calling for first aid may still be needed to address residual risks.
