This risk assessment document identifies five risks associated with filming a project: 1) slipping on a wet day and injuring oneself or damaging the camera, 2) being hit by a car while not paying attention to surroundings, 3) bumping into members of the public, 4) wearing inappropriate clothing that could lead to injury, and 5) weather damaging the camera if filming outdoors in the rain. The document rates each risk and provides actions to mitigate the risks, such as being aware of surroundings and wearing proper attire. It concludes that discussing potential hazards makes the team aware of risks and how to prepare.

3. There are benefits of discussing possible hazards
that would impact the task. Mostly because it’s
now made us aware of what risk we could face.
As a team we will make sure we are aware of
our surroundings and that we don’t bring any
risks upon ourselves due to lack of preparation.
