RISK ASSESSMENT / PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:

Two
additional sections have been created to assist with Planning Considerations and Risk Assessment. (see the two additional buttons underneath button number 5 on the right. --->)

Why do the guidelines exist?
The very nature of the screen sector involves hazards and risk from stunt work, use of technical machinery and pyrotechnics, to irregular and long hours, weather conditions and specialist products. No matter the scale of production it is up to everyone, from those running the show to those working on it, whether in front of or behind the camera, to ensure that it goes on as safely as possible.

These guidelines will help ensure everyone in the screen sector has a greater understanding of their responsibilities under the 2015 Act
