At Location Safety Ltd, we specialise in ensuring the safety of your cast, crew, and equipment when working in challenging environments. Our team comprises highly experienced professionals who operate with confidence and precision in wooded, mountainous, and remote terrain – both around Wales and south west England.
Our staff include qualified Mountain Leaders (ML), Winter Mountain Leaders (WML), Mountaineering Instructors (MCI), and IRATA-certified Rope Access Technicians.
