This student risk assessment identifies hazards students may face while filming and taking photos on campus. It rates the degree of risk as minimal for trip hazards, damage to cameras, and flashing lights if control measures are followed. The risk of taking photos without permission is rated as probable. Further control measures required include asking surrounding people for permission before taking any photos.
