The document contains a risk assessment for a student taking photos in various locations on campus. In the photography studio, the main risks are tripping over wires or furniture. In the music practice room, having too many people or tripping over furniture are risks. Outside in the field, slipping on wet grass is a risk. Finally, in the cafeteria, tripping over furniture or injuries with too many people are risks. Control measures include keeping areas clear, limiting numbers of people, and knowing first aid locations.
