Television and Film Safety Rigging Services

TV and Film Location Safety Services
If your television, music video or film production requires putting your cast and crew in hazardous locations then you have a ‘duty of care’ to ensure their safety. Filming in dangerous environments can be a tough decision for production teams and you will need to think about the risks you are exposing them to.

The safety of your production is paramount and this is reflected in our excellent safety track record. Our technical advisors work closely with your production team to ensure you understand the risks involved. Our technical advisors will then produce a risk assessment including emergency action plans and will implement and action all safety procedures. We are used to working alongside directors, stunt co-ordinators or from storyboards to ensure you get very best shots required for your productions filming.

We can provide a number of safety specialists from a wide range of backgrounds from mountain guides, industrial ropes access technicians to swift water rescue teams. All of our team members are experienced in the film industry and understand the pressures of filming and will ensure that your cast and crew are as safe as possible while still maintaining the atmosphere of your production.
