Health and Safety.

When filming, we had to make sure the health and safety of the actors, filmer's and the equipment was high priority.
We had to make sure that the clips on the tripod were all fastened tightly and level with one another, and then place it in a safe place, so that the camera would be sturdy and safe. Tape down any cables to the camera or extra lights being used. If using lights; red lights or blonde's, 800 or 1000 watt lights, to not touch the head as they can get extremely hot, and to use gloves when dealing with them.
Also, we had to make sure there was always at least 3 people filming, so that if some one got injured etc, one person could stay with them, and the other could go and get help.
When filming in doors, we had to make sure that we knew where all fire exits were and the emergency procedures of that location were, e.g. when the nearest medical aid was.
When filming off sight, at night or in the early morning, we had to make sure we were aware of additional dangers; fewer passers by if help was needed, the dark, the use of weapons in public, and a main point that affected us, the weather. In our case, when filming outside, the path was covered in ice and snow, so we made sure our actor had sensible footwear.
And finally, to not have any food or drink around the equipment or while filming.
