This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards for students filming or taking photos in both the library and classroom at a college. In the library, tripping over books left on the floor or a bookshelf falling pose risks. Existing controls include neatly stacking books and securely mounted shelves, with further actions of clearer signage for fire exits. In the classroom, tripping over tables, chairs, or bags on the floor could cause minor injuries. Current controls involve spaced tables and tucked-in chairs, while bags under tables and reminders about chair placement are proposed additional measures.
