Specialist Advice and Safety Training
At Location Safety Ltd, we understand that many filming environments present complex safety challenges requiring more than just standard precautions. Whether you’re working at height, near water, with hazardous equipment, or in dynamic on-set environments, it’s essential that all cast and crew have the right training to operate safely and confidently.
We offer specialist safety advice and practical training tailored to the unique demands of the film, TV, and creative production industries. Our goal is to embed health and safety into your production without disrupting the creative process.
Tailored On-Set Safety Training
Where additional training is needed, we provide bespoke, in-house sessions designed around your production’s needs, schedule, and location. For more specialist requirements, we can also connect you with accredited providers from our trusted network of industry experts. Training can be arranged for pre-production, during rehearsals, or on live sets.
Our services cover a wide range of safety-critical areas, including but not limited to:
Manual Handling Training
Heavy lifting and carrying are common tasks on set. Our manual handling training helps prevent injury by teaching proper lifting techniques, load assessment, and movement strategies. This is essential for crew handling props, lighting, camera equipment, and set materials.
Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Awareness
For those working long hours in production offices or post-production suites, poor workstation setup can lead to long-term musculoskeletal problems. Our DSE assessments and training ensure that all display screen users have ergonomically sound workstations, reducing the risk of strain, fatigue, or injury.
Safe Working at Height
Filming often involves the use of scaffolding, aerial platforms and lighting rigs. Our safe working at height training equips your team with the knowledge to assess fall risks, use safety harnesses correctly, and comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005. We focus on fall prevention, equipment checks, and emergency planning.
Risk Assessment Training
Knowing how to carry out a risk assessment is a fundamental part of on-set safety. We offer risk assessment training that empowers crew members to identify hazards, evaluate risks, and implement effective control measures. This ensures legal compliance and promotes a proactive safety culture.
Working Near or On Water – Lifejacket Awareness
Shooting near rivers, lakes, coastal areas, or in water tanks presents unique hazards. Our lifejacket awareness and water safety training ensures that your crew understands when and how to use personal flotation devices (PFDs), conduct basic water safety checks, and respond to emergencies. We also advise on working near water regulations and rescue planning.
