Working dangerously long hours with no proper rest? It’s not just unfair - it’s unsafe.

Health and Safety on set is essential.
If you haven’t already taken our ScreenSkills Level 2 Production Safety Passport course, now’s the time. It’s an online course, just 90 minutes long, costs £20, and provides a 5-year Production Safety Passport.
The course is designed to ensure that no one working within the film and TV industry is ever injured - or worse - because a risk on set wasn’t properly recognised, communicated, or managed.
We also offer great group rates, making it even more accessible for those looking to complete the training together.
Join the growing number of industry professionals who’ve already taken the course and are helping make sets safer for everyone.

Safety on set isn’t optional - it’s essential. Let’s make sure no one else gets injured doing the job they love.
Join us in promoting set safety at the Mark Milsome Foundation. 🙏
