How are you going to prevent this from happening?
Crew and actor could fall of the stage, while misjudging the
location
Ensure that crews and actors are far away from the edge of the stage at all times. This way, they will all
be safely in the center of the stage and no possibility of falling at the edge
Crew and actor could trip over equipment and props, resulting in
a damage of equipment
Make sure that there is always someone in charge of specific equipment so that they can warn if anyone
is in danger. If there is no one available to be in charge, it would be useful to put a sign.
