1. The risk assessment identifies hazards students may face when taking photos outside the Art Block, including colliding with others and slipping on a wet floor. 2. Control measures are in place, such as being aware of surroundings and not taking photos when the floor is wet. 3. Further actions are recommended, like scheduling photos during lessons when the space is clear, and wiping the floor if necessary.
