Tripods placed in various angles around rooms pose a trip hazard for actors. Flammable props and electrical equipment near open flames risk electrical fires or other fires. Props like fairy lights strewn across floors could cause actors to trip. Expensive equipment could be damaged by liquids or improper handling during the long filming days. Colette is responsible for minimizing these risks by ensuring safe placement of equipment, clear paths for actors, fire safety practices, and providing breaks and food for actors.
