Louise Snell is producing Haydon's Got Talent and has identified several risks for the production including tripping over wires, electrical fires from overheating equipment, medical issues from participants, falls from tiered seating, damage to equipment, and injuries. To minimize these risks, Louise will tape all wires to the floor, ensure equipment is properly set up and only used as needed, confirm participants have necessary medications, make people aware of low barriers, train equipment users, and have medical staff on set.
