A risk assessment was conducted for students filming and taking photos in the college sports block. Hazards identified included blocking fire exits, being injured by sports equipment, and cuts from sharp equipment in a building site area. Control measures in place were not blocking exits, fencing off hazardous building areas, and avoiding walking in the path of sports activities. Further actions required contacting emergency services in the event of fires or accidents, and reporting any injuries to tutors and first aiders.
