This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards students may face while filming or taking photos in a college theatre room. Key hazards identified include blocked exits, falls down stairs, broken phones/cameras, and tripping over chairs. With existing control measures like checking exits, blocking stairs, and putting equipment away when not in use, the risks were determined to be minor injuries at most and unlikely to probable. Further actions planned include being aware of first aid locations.
