This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards students may face while filming or taking photos for a college media studies course. It identifies trip hazards, improper camera use, and privacy/permission issues as risks. For each hazard, it rates the degree of risk to students as minimal, both without and with existing control measures in place, such as taking care on stairs, being careful with cameras, and asking permission. The document does not require any further action.
