SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Safety Program
With the help of our Risk & Safety Consultants we provide assistance to clients with administration of the Injury/Illness Prevention Program.
The Daily Maintenance
It takes only a few minutes a day to complete. Documentation is key. It will be the only way to prove that your production has followed proper procedures while maintaining a safe work environment. Make this program pat of your production box.
Safety files should contain the following documents for each production date:
- Location Inspection
- Safety Meetings
Location Inspection:
This is a physical inspection of the work site. Use a checklist where you can note potentially hazardous area requiring your immediate attention.
The Risk & Safety Consultant may conduct random on-site inspections to help you to identify unsafe conditions for the purpose of preventing injury and/or to prevent potential OSHA citation.
Safety Meetings are a 5 Step Process
An Employee Safety Meeting can be found in the IIPP manual. The following will explain how to prepare your 5-minute meeting agenda each production day.
- Conduct a location inspection when you arrive on set. List any safety hazards or concerns for the work site and talk about preventative measures. Use the Studio Location Inspection Checklist or Location Inspection Checklist.
- Review the day’s schedule. Remind the crew about special effects, stunts, environmental conditions, etc. that may be present at the work site.
- Remind crew to report safety concerns to an appointed safety manager. Identify this person at the meeting.
- Have each person in attendance sign the safety meeting worksheet for that day. Should crewmembers be absent from the meeting, be sure this information is reviewed with them upon their return.
- Acknowledge the crew’s efforts for maintaining a safe work site.
Keep a copy of the Acknowledgment forms for your record.
Contact the Risk & Safety Department to review your production details.
Media Services requires a minimum of 72 hours advanced notice of all “special activities” and productions in foreign countries. (Special Activities are described as but not limited to stunts, aerial photography, underwater photography, pyrotechnics, and use of non-domestic animals, water craft or air craft.)
