This risk assessment document evaluates potential hazards students may face while filming and taking photos for a college media studies course. It identifies trip hazards, camera breaking, and taking photos without permission as risks. The degree of risk for each hazard is rated as minimal, with existing control measures like being careful on stairs, using camera straps, and getting permission. The document requires no further action but to continue following these control measures.
