This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards students may face while filming or taking photos in college. It identifies two main risks: the risk of robbery if camera equipment is used in public places, and the risk of slipping on ice or poor weather conditions while using equipment outdoors. For each risk, it rates the degree of risk on a scale from A to E, lists any existing control measures, and proposes additional actions that could further control the risks.
