Directors are responsible for the physical and emotional safety of their actors during dangerous or intense scenes. Approaches include proper rehearsal, safety protocols, and use of stunt professionals if needed.

Creating a safe environment is key. Directors should have clear policies, training, and reporting mechanisms for dealing with sexual harassment.

Directors must be sensitive to the portrayal and use of cultures to which they do not belong. This includes selecting appropriate works, consulting with cultural representatives, and casting authentically where possible.

Imitating another director's distinctive style or staging can lead to claims of plagiarism. Directors should strive for originality or seek permission and give credit where inspiration is drawn.

When directing scenes involving sensitive content such as violence or trauma, it is important to approach with care, provide context, and offer support to the actors.

Productions can have a significant environmental impact. Directors can minimize this through sustainable practices like digital scripts, reusable materials, and efficient energy use.

Directors should respect the private lives of actors and crew, avoiding any temptation to leverage personal information for professional gain or to influence performances.

Directors have an ethical obligation to promote diversity and representation on stage. This can involve diverse casting, stories that represent multiple perspectives, and an inclusive work environment.

Directors must navigate power dynamics carefully to avoid abuse of power. Mutual respect and open communication are essential, and mentoring should never be used as a cover for exploitation.
