This risk assessment document evaluates risks to students filming and taking photos on a college campus. It identifies potential trip hazards, safety risks to cameras, and risks of taking photos without permission as hazards. For each hazard, it rates the degree of risk considering the worst possible outcome, probability of occurrence, and existing control measures. Further control measures are proposed, such as taking care on stairs, using camera straps, and getting permission before taking photos of people.
