Below are two risk assessment I made to keep myself and the camera safe and protected when going out to take pictures. I made two as I believed I'd lost my original one, but later found after I'd made another.

Never take picture whilst on road.

Going out with expensive camera equipment
Could have equipment stolen, mugged.
Could damage equipment.

Make sure that I’m not on my own, makes it less likely that I’ll be mugged and have someone to help if someone does try to mug me.
Be careful with camera equipment.
Go out and take pictures with a group, or at least another person.
Go out during the day, less likely to be mugged.
Keep camera on safety strap around neck or wrist. Best to keep in case if I’m not using it.
Me
Mugger?
