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.
