The document assesses risks for students filming and taking photos for a college media studies task, identifying hazards like trip hazards on stairs or camera damage and concerns like taking photos without permission. It rates the degree of each risk on scales for worst possible outcome, probability of occurrence with and without existing control measures, and assigns an overall risk rating from A to E.
