The document summarizes a risk assessment for students filming and taking photos in a town center college location. It identifies hazards such as people walking around and knocking into the students, and crossing roads to access different areas. For each hazard, it rates the degree of risk, lists existing control measures, and proposes additional actions to further control the risks, including having a friend accompany the students to ensure no one walks into them while filming, and all looking for cars before crossing roads.
