This risk assessment document evaluates risks to students filming or taking photos in the college carpark. It identifies that students could get hurt or equipment damaged if hit by a car. Further, students could get knocked over by vehicles coming in and out of the parking area. Existing controls include students making others aware of their activities and keeping equipment out of the way of traffic. Additional measures proposed are scheduling activities when the carpark is less busy to reduce danger, and using light equipment that is easy for students to move quickly if needed.
