This risk assessment evaluates hazards for filming/taking photos inside and outside a sports hall at a college. Outside, slipping on wet surfaces is a risk, but gritted pathways have been implemented to reduce falls. Assistance is provided when walking down steps to prevent running or overcrowding. Inside the internet cafe, falling over chairs is a hazard but each computer is assigned one chair to mitigate it. Bumping into corners of tables is also possible since they are at different angles, so awareness is required.

against the risk
Each computer is assigned one
chair.
Make sure that people aren’t
running or tuck the chairs
under the tables so there is no
risk.
No existing control measures
Be wary whilst in the room as
the tables are at different
angles all over the room

Fr = frequent/likely/could occur repeatedly/expected
Pr = probable/not surprised/might occur often
Ps = possible/could occur sometime
R = remote/unlikely but conceivable
U = unlikely/improbable such that likelihood is almost zero
