This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards students may face while filming and taking photos in college. It identifies two main risks: 1) use of cameras in public places could increase risk of robbery, and 2) using equipment in poor weather conditions like ice could lead to falls. The document rates the risks as possible with minor potential injuries. It lists existing control measures like using CCTV and gritted paths, and recommends students avoid revealing equipment while in transit and take extra care in poor weather.
