Health and safety is important when you have an audience, because you are responsible for them as well as yourself.
You must make sure that fire exits are always available. You don't know when a fire will happen (Unless you expect something could happen due to a certain scene in your performance.) and your audience definately won't. Make sure they know where it is by pointing it out, or at least having a visable sign. Of course, keep the path to it clear.
If you're using anything, such as a large prop, which could possibly fall onto the audience if knocked over, make sure a space is cleared around it or move it away from the audience.
Your own safety on stage is also important.
-Keep wires out of the way, or anything you could fall over.
-Wear sensible shoes if you're going to do a lot of moving around.
-Don't move heavy props on your own.
-Rehearse so you know where things will move to.
