LOCATIONS SAFETY SUPERVISION.
Department managers should always look for potential safety hazards when scouting locations and be ready to stablish mitigations. For Instance, a location that seems encumbered with potential hazards producers should consider shooting in a different place. Make sure you refer to your risk matrix where a list of each location exist. Here, you can develop special protocols. For Instance, you are aware that paramedics and fire safety crews need to be on set or a particular location. SSS understand that when performing dangerous activities, someone could get hurt. Consequently, a contingent plan must be in place to deal with that situation. Which action could prevent a more serious trauma and ensure a full recovery.

Once you establish the potential risks, evaluate how likely they are to occur. If there’s even a slim chance that a risk is real, you’ll need to prepare a plan. What safeguards can you put in place to avoid the hazard from occurring? What procedures will you establish to deal with a situation if it arises Some safety precautions seem like common sense but that doesn’t mean you can put them on the back burner. Deal with cables and other tripping hazards right away, before they cause an accident. Secure cables with gaff tape and place brightly colored cones or signs near other tripping hazards. Place fire extinguishers and first aid kits throughout your filming location for easy access. Follow regular workplace safety guidelines, too. Team-lift heavy gear, and lift with the knees rather than the back. Provide fall-protection gear to film crew members or performers on high platforms or set pieces. In many cases, you can refer to Union Guidelines for safety information required for union performers or crew members, but it’s a good idea to double and triple check with safety experts as well One of the quickest ways to have a film set accident is mishandling of equipment. A heavy piece of equipment like a crane, a camera, or even a set piece can become a hazard if used incorrectly by the wrong person. While smaller productions often assign multiple duties to each crew member, no film crew member should handle, set up, or break down equipment that they haven’t been trained and approved to use. Take steps to protect electrical equipment from the elements and to outfit your crew with the correct attire or personal protective equipment (PPE) as needed
Safety meetings are the most important component in keeping your film crew and performers safe. Your daily meetings should review written safety procedures to prepare for tricky shots and reinforce the importance of handling equipment correctly. Ensure each member of the crew knows where to find important safety equipment like fire extinguishers and first aid kits. If a crew member makes a mistake or improperly handles equipment, make sure everyone understands what happened so you can correct it and prevent it in the future. By following these tips and following appropriate safety measures, you can improve the overall safety on set. This will help everyone feel more comfortable from one shooting day to the nex
