This risk assessment document identifies potential hazards students may face while taking photos for a media studies class. Three key risks are identified: slipping on wet grass, falling down staircases, and tripping over bags in classrooms. Control measures are outlined to mitigate each risk, such as checking weather conditions before going outside, keeping to the left on staircases, and ensuring bags are stored under tables. An action plan calls for notifying security of outdoor activities, alerting first aid of any injuries, and informing staff of any trip hazards.
