Why is Safety Important

What are 3 different points this article makes about safety on set? Why are they important?

    The first point that this article makes about safety on set is to plan safety protocol. This is important because knowing how to handle possible risks safely can help diminish or even eliminate the dangers entirely. This point also stressed that all possible risks should be assessed for a set, meaning that you could plan for more risks than you may have initially, potentially ones that would've caught you off guard.

    The second point is to make sure everyone knows the hazards. This is vital as having a protocol that isn't shared to everyone is entirely redundant; both of these points go hand in hand. As previously mentioned, debriefing people on the hazards, how to keep safe, and how to handle things whilst following safety protocols mitigates the possible risks or at least limit them.

    Another point made is to plan emergency response. Knowing what to do in the event of an emergency is vital as people often panic or freeze if they don't know what they should do. If there's a plan, then they are more likely to follow what was practiced or planned, making it much safer for everyone than it would be if there was nothing prepared.
