This risk assessment identifies hazards students may face while filming or taking photos on campus. Tripping over objects or dropping cameras could result in minor injuries. Bumping into others poses a slight risk of minor injuries. Construction sites present a possible risk of objects falling on heads. Existing controls include having cameras attached to students at all times and being aware of others. Further actions include booking cameras when areas are less busy, removing trip hazards, and avoiding construction sites or planning safe routes through them.

ACTION PLAN
What further control
measures are required when
and by whom
Try and book the camera for when
students are out at lessons or take
pictures for where there are not as
many students around.
C
St
Construction sight, risk of
something falling on your head
CONTROL MEASURES
Existing control measures taken
against the risk
Student Name:
B
The person with the camera
should take responsible of it
and the people around it should
also be aware of the camera.
Be careful when walking, if there is
any risks of any objects in the way
then move them out the way so
there is less risk of falling not
putting students or staff in risk of
danger.
Person with the camera should
be careful and the actor
working with the person with
the camera both should look
out for each other to avoid and
major injury.
Students might walk under ladders
etc. something can fall onto your
head. Avoid walking though busy
construction sites and walk around
instead.
Both the actor and the person
with the camera should be
aware of the workers and the
building sites to make sure no
major injury occurs. And also
be careful on which way they
walk and to plan their routes
just to be safe.
