Students were conducting a risk assessment for a media studies task involving filming and taking photos on campus. The assessment identified potential hazards like cars driving past, pedestrian footfall, theft, and bikes/skateboards. The degree of risk was rated for each hazard based on the persons at risk, worst possible outcome, and probability. Control measures already in place included speed limit signs by the bike shed and cycle lanes. Further actions required were not specified.
