Why We Should Have Listened to Our Health and Safety Risk Assesment

The location for our first scene we filmed outside an abandoned warehouse.  There was glass all over the place and the floor was damp and slippery.  When I was running in the first scene, I tried to turn the corner and slipped onto the floor, just skimming the bumper of a moving car. This was painful; I was in shock for a while and left leg was grazed.  We sent one of the members of the group back to the highstreet so he could get me some antiseptic wipes so I could disinfect and clean the wound.  We were lucky as this was the first scene of our thriller so we could easily do it again. My jeans were ripped and i had the big cut on my knee the whole way through the thriller so this kept up the continuity.
