This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards students may face while filming or taking photos on campus for a media studies course. It identifies risks such as falling on the stairs, tripping outside, or damaging equipment like a piano. Control measures are outlined to mitigate these risks, such as holding the handrail on stairs, wearing sensible footwear outside, and informing staff before touching equipment. The action plan specifies notifying teachers of plans, the site warden if near roads, and the office if working near the piano in case of any damage.
