This risk assessment document evaluates risks to students taking photos outside a college gate. The main risk identified is traffic, which could result in a fatality. Existing controls include ensuring students stay aware of traffic and remain on the pavement. Further actions planned are to keep the pathway clear and ensure no one is around when taking photos.
