A risk assessment was conducted for students filming and taking photos in a college photography studio. The main risk identified was tripping over photography equipment, which could result in a minor injury. Existing control measures include having a teacher oversee the situation and keeping only necessary students and staff in the room. Further control measures required are to ensure any wires or equipment left out are kept out of walkways.
