This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards for students filming and taking photos in a college corridor. It identifies tripping over carpets or walking into other students/staff as possible risks. Existing control measures include using good quality carpets to avoid accidents and encouraging an orderly walk. Further required actions are to only take footage when the corridor is empty or has few people, and to film in safe areas away from potential trip hazards.
