This document contains a risk assessment for recording activities in various areas around a school. It identifies potential hazards in 6 areas: the art room, recording equipment near water, the outdoor courts, the sixth form area, outside areas, and the radio room. For each area, it lists who may be harmed, existing controls, additional controls that may be needed, who is responsible for implementing further actions, and when actions need to be completed by. The overall purpose is to identify and mitigate risks for students and equipment during media recording activities at different locations around the school.
