Risk Assessments and Consultancy
Every production involves a unique combination of locations, environments, stunts, cast and crew therefore each production needs to be assessed individually. Our fire risk assessments and health and safety assessments identify the hazards that a production may face on set, location, environment and stunts we then provide recommendations for eliminating or mitigating and controlling those risks. Our team will assist your producers to make decisions that allow them to set a budget for a safe workplace and minimize the chance of costly delays or shutdowns.
Once the fire risk assessment is complete our fire safety advisors can provide a consultancy package which can make sure you are compliant with legislation during your production regardless of the size or length. With our fire safety consultants having over 30 years experience we provide our clients with confidence that the knowledge we have will safeguard their crew and assets. Our unique packages give you full access to our fire safety advisors to answers any questions and to oversee any set or stunt changes throughout your production.
