Risk Assessment

This risk assessment identifies two hazards for students filming/taking photos on a sports field: 1) tripping on a wet or cluttered field, and 2) contact with objects from sports played further down the field. The probability of minor injury from tripping is possible, while contact with objects is probable. Controls include advising against use after poor weather, watching one's footing, being observant of surroundings, and staying clear of ongoing activities. Further controls could include implementing a pathway from the entrance.
