Film Production Safety Guidelines

Prepare a set of Production Safety Guidelines for a film shoot with this easy-to-use form.

Purpose of the Safety Guidelines Template

Safety on a film set is crucial, to protect the cast and crew and keep insurance premiums lower. These standard guidelines are not suggestions. They are mandatory and must be followed by all cast and crew, whether on location or in the studio.

Scope of the Safety Guidelines

The Guidelines cover a number of health and safety issues, including:

  • procedures for preventing injury and illness on set;
  • safety rules that must be strictly followed;
  • how violations or hazards must be reported;
  • safety meetings;
  • disciplinary action for violations;
  • how to prepare injury and illness reports;
  • responsibility of employees for their own safety and the safety of others around them.

Why You Need These Film Production Safety Guidelines

As a filmmaker, it's your responsibility to ensure the safety of the people you hire to produce the film. Failure to educate your employees and contractors about proper safety measures could leave you liable in the event of death or injury.
