The set was a major safety hazard. The Tin Man, who was to originally be played by Buddy Ebsen, who had to quit when aluminum dust from his makeup put him in an iron lung. Margaret Hamilton suffered burns from a faulty trap door and missed 6 weeks of filming while her stand in spent 11 days in the hospital suffering permanent burns to her legs when the broom exploded. Hamilton's makeup was also so toxic (copper based) that she could only consume liquids through a straw during filming and her green skin lasted for months after production wrapped.
