    The risk assessment identifies several potential hazards at an editing location including tripping over bags and chairs, overheated computers, faulty chairs, and eye strain from excessive editing.

Further actions proposed are being mindful of surroundings, keeping air conditioning on, and alternating who does editing between lessons.
