Lone Pine brings up some excellent suggestions.
Legally, other boaters must stay 150' from a water skier unless they are going no wake speed. The skier and tow boat must stay 150' from other other boats, docks, swim areas, swimmers, shores, etc.
The person being towed needs to follow all the rules of the road.
Other common sense things to do:[LIST]
The operator of the boat needs to focus on where they are going. Don't put the person being towed in a dangerous situation.
Let the observer watch the person being towed.
