Health and Safety concerns


One of the most prominent health and safety concern is definitely the fact that a glass has to be smashed during the flashback and violent scene. This can be hazardous as the environment we are filming this is an enclosed kitchen.
In order to overcome and deal with this hazard, when smashing the glass we planned to make sure Callum was back as far as possible in the corner of the room, and all the other actors stood behind a closed door as he threw it. We also made sure everyone was wearing shoes to avoid the risk of getting shards of glass in people's feet. As soon as the glass was thrown, we got a broom and swept away all visible pieces of glass, and then hoovered the whole floor to collect any remaining shards of glass which could be dangerous. This was also the last thing we filmed, so that there was less of a risk of anyone stepping on glass during the other parts of the filming.
