One of the biggest health and safety concerns when filming for this promotional video would be having loads of filming equipment / wires so by limiting the equipment to 1 tripod and 1 camera means that there will be no wires for people to trip over or for dogs to chew which allows me to protect the health and safety of everyone involved. Along with limiting the equipment to protect everyone’s health and safety it also means that I won’t get in the way of the day to day running of Puppy School classes and allows them to operate as normal.
