Leaning over the edge of a multi-story car park came with the risk of falling. To ensure that no body fell we made sure that we walked carefully and we did not film when it was or shortly after it had rained so that there wasn't any risk of slipping and falling. In addition to this we also made sure that everyone on set acted professionally and did not mess around the people standing near the edge.
Electricity could cause a hazard whilst filming the suicide scene where Ross attempts to kill himself by sticking a knife in a live plug socket. To limit the danger that it posed we made sure that the actor did not actually make any contact with the plug socket whilst holding the knife so that he did not die.
There was a danger of the actor who plays Ross getting a serious head injury in the scene where he confronts his boss and he hits himself in the face and then falls over backwards. To limit the danger of him hitting his head on the floor we made sure that he fell down in stages so that he could control his fall so that it was less erratic and allowed him to make sure his head did not make any contact with ground at speed.
Alcohol and drugs caused a high risk while filming the suicide scene where Ross attemptsto end his life by overdosing on tablets and alcohol. To eliminate the danger that this posed we made sure that no drugs were actually consumed (instead we used Tic Tac mints) and we did not have the actor drink any alcohol instead he drank water from an empty bottle of Vodka.
Tripping caused a high risk as there are many scenes where we are walking around with cameras and tripods. To limit the risk that this posed we made sure that the areas where we would be walking with the equipment was clear and we always had someone who was making sure that the person moving wasd aware of any danger and stopped if they spotted anything that could pose a risk of tripping.
