Shooting on location in a café carries some risks that require mitigation. Hot drinks could burn someone if not handled carefully, with gloves or napkins to protect from heat if the drink has not cooled. Spilled drinks could also cause harm if surfaces or people are hit, so those on the shoot should be careful not to knock anything over. Tripping over furniture is also possible but less likely, so keeping the shooting area clear is important. The proper contacts should be notified if any incidents occur requiring medical assistance. Overall, the key is taking precautions like protective gear, clear spaces, and communication to safely complete the shoot.
