Between 20 and 40 individuals suffer severe injuries or even fatalities annually during film production.
These injuries and fatalities often stem from preventable causes: inadequate safety measures, lack of proper training, or the pressure to achieve ambitious stunts and complex scenes under tight deadlines.
Why Proactive Risk Management Matters
Risks don’t just mean accidents or emergencies; they can also mean miscommunication, unclear expectations, or a lack of trust. These issues can affect collaboration, productivity, and morale. We focus on creating balanced, supportive workplaces where risks are minimised, and every team member is set up for success.
