Mental health is just as important as physical safety on set – which is why we’ve included it in our Health & Safety course. Long hours, pressure, and the demands of the job can take a real toll.
Recognising the signs and knowing how to support each other can make a real difference.
Here’s a clip from Chapter 8 on Mental Health of our ScreenSkills Level 2 Production Safety Passport course – because mental well-being should never be overlooked.

Working long hours is often seen as part of the job in our industry - but at what cost? Tiredness, stress, and poor welfare standards can have serious consequences, not just for individuals but for the whole crew’s safety.
As part of the Mark Milsome Foundation’s ScreenSkills Level 2 Production Safety Passport course we explore why managing working hours and ensuring proper welfare isn’t just a matter of comfort - it’s a matter of safety.
We encourage anyone who hasn’t taken the course to please do so now, to ensure your own safety and the safety of those around you.

The Injury Prevention Consultancy report is out now! Please do take a moment to read it.
It puts a spotlight on the high prevalence of injury in film, TV and theatrical production and explores the human toll and economic impact this has on the people behind the process.
The findings highlight the harmful effects that workplace injuries can have on the physical, mental, and financial well-being of professionals in the creative industries. The occurrence of injury in production not only affects individuals but can also have a ripple effect across departments, affecting cast, crew and at times risking the viability of productions altogether.
These results indicate a sector wide problem, but one which key stakeholders have an opportunity to address.
