Between 20 and 40 individuals suffer severe injuries
or even fatalities annually during film production.
In sports, injuries are a known risk, and they carry significant costs for both players and clubs.
Similarly, the film industry faces these risks, making it crucial to prioritise safety.
Neglecting safety on a film set not only leads to injuries,
but can also result in fatalities.
Mitigating legal risks and ensuring health and safety for cast and crew are paramount concerns in any production, whether it's for film, TV, or advertising. Long working hours, physically demanding tasks, and exposure to hazardous materials can impact team cohesion, performance, and overall safety.
Our ‘Eyes On Production’ survey is designed to collect data and provide insights for better safety management and risk awareness in film production. It emphasises the importance of preparation, safety measures, and support to minimise these risks.
While each production is unique in terms of length, scale, budget, location, and requirements, a comprehensive safety checklist and a designated safety officer are essential for a smooth and secure production. Our 'Eyes On Production' consultation is your guide to safer filmmaking.
