Then there was lightning regulations. In the premiere, there was a scene with a lightning flash, and people not on set wondered if it was CGI, because apparently if there's visible lightning anywhere, there's a mad scramble to determine the distance, and if it's closer than 6 miles, everything shuts down immediately, no matter what.

And the whole union thing with gaffers being called on for anything that creates light. But then you have to get a grip for anything that blocks or shades light.

Finally, not a safety or union thing, but they went on and one about how cold it was during the Don Eladio swimming scene, and what a trooper he was diving into the pool. It always seems that any scene in any medium that isn't on a stage set, the actors go on and on about either how cold or how hot it was, and how much they endured to 'get the shot.'

If I'm Steven Bauer at this point, I think I'd probably jump into a lava pit to keep working. He had a serious dry spell after the Scar Face love wore off. He's getting hot again with BB, BCS and Ray Donovan. He's got to keep it going or he'll be doing reverse mortgage commercials with Alex Trebek.
