Students filming and taking photos in the art block poses several risks. Tripping over wires, walking into doors or artwork, and falling down the stairs could result in injuries to students. Minor injuries are most probable if control measures are followed, such as keeping wires to the side, doors open, and artwork put away. Students should also watch where they are going to avoid the remote risk of major injuries from falling down the stairs. Further control measures like unplugging wires and avoiding the stairs when possible are recommended.
