The risk assessment document identifies potential hazards students may face while filming and taking photographs for a college media studies task. It rates the risks of tripping hazards, breaking the camera, and taking photographs without permission. The risks are considered probable or possible. Existing control measures include taking care on stairs, using camera straps, and getting permission before photographing. Further actions are required such as reminding students to be careful.
