Film & TV Safety Solutions for Working at Height
Our expertise allows you to capture dramatic shots in exposed and high-risk locations – from building edges and scaffolding to natural ledges and ravines – while maintaining the highest standards of on-set safety.
We provide fully compliant rope rigging systems, designed for both off-camera crew access and on-camera cast performance. Our systems are engineered to facilitate:
- Safe positioning of cameras and crew on hazardous terrain
- Controlled lowering of crew or equipment over cliffs or structures
- Secure cast positioning for scenes involving working near a edge
When required in-shot, we work directly with stunt teams, offering technical rigging, actor support, and on-site supervision of your crew, ensuring all rope work is safe, authentic, and visually effective.
