This risk assessment document evaluates the risks students may face while filming and taking photos for a media studies class. The key risks identified include injury while filming such as falling or tripping, equipment being stolen or lost, and injury while traveling to film locations. Control measures to mitigate these risks include filming in pairs, practicing safe techniques, keeping equipment secured when not in use, and getting approval for travel plans from teachers. Further actions identified are for injured students to see the nurse and for security to take action if supplies are stolen.
