Q1: all of the above. Moving vehicles and equipment. Stunts/practical effects/etc. High power lighting and electrical cords strung everywhere. Tripping hazards. Falling hazards. Oh, and as a rule, never get in the helicopter.

Q2: I don’t know. I imagine it depends on how much is being built and how controlled the environment would be.

Edit: I should also stress the impact of sleep deprivation on accidents and mistakes. Filmmaking hours are often pegged at 12+ as a standard day, and a well financed production won’t bat an eye at paying the penalties to push a crew.

I was talking with some one in Prospect/BECTU (IATSE) and she mentioned her first job was on Coronation Street helping the older actors onto set and making sure they didn't trip over any thing.

I was/am on the same committe (SOC)
