This risk assessment document evaluates risks students may face when filming or taking photos in college. It identifies hazards such as using cameras in poor weather conditions like ice and rain, and using cameras in public places where there is a risk of robbery. For each hazard, it rates the degree of risk by considering who may be affected, the worst possible outcome, and the probability of occurrence both with and without existing control measures. The document also includes an action plan to specify any further control measures needed to reduce risks.
