Student Risk Assessment for Photography

The document summarizes a risk assessment for a student taking photos in the college. It identifies two main hazards: 1) many pedestrians in the area could result in minor injuries and 2) uneven ground that could cause slips or falls resulting in potential injuries. Control measures are outlined to mitigate the risks, such as clearing the area when students are in class and using flat, even paths. The risk assessment was conducted by Gemma McDougall for a media studies project on 16/1/15.

Contact main entrance


staff to notify them of the
photos being taken with
the area needed to be
clear and to warn them of
any injuries that may
occur. Ensure photos are
only being taken when
students are in class and
not likely to get in the
way.

Only use the areas that


are flat and evenly laid
to walk on and to take
your photos on. If it has
rained then walked
carefully and do not run
as it may be slippy and
cause more accidents.

2) Uneven ground to fall


on.
