This document identifies risks and ways to minimize risks for various activities: 1) Taking photos could risk tripping on equipment, so make everyone aware of the equipment and not block areas. 2) Making magazine pages on a computer could involve spilling drinks or staring at screens too long, so avoid drinks by computers and take breaks. 3) Questionnaires with strangers could make them uncomfortable or seem untrustworthy, so explain the purpose and bring someone else. 4) Focus groups could involve spilling on cameras or going somewhere unsafe with strangers, so keep liquids away from cameras, stay with trusted people, and let others know your location.
