Yeah, old factories are full of forgotten history and a few secrets that can be dangerous if you don't respect the place. First thing: always get a permit or at least make sure you have permission from the owners or the city. Then scan the area for structural weaknesses—old support beams, any collapsed sections, and especially electrical hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand, wear proper gear, and make sure you have a clear exit route. If you spot anything suspicious, like exposed wiring or loose debris, cut it off or cordon it off before you get any close. Trust your crew, keep communication tight, and you’ll get those shots without blowing up the place.
