Introduction from Rory Kinnear to the Mark Milsome Foundation Film and TV Online Safety Passport Course
The course takes 90 minutes and topics include Speaking Up, The Law, Working Hours, Health and Safety Abroad, Mental Health, Bullying and Discrimination, delivering a modern refresher for those with decades of experience and serving as a learning tool for those setting foot on set for the first time. It was designed by crew for crew in response to a survey which received close to 5000 comments.
It's simple. If this were made a compulsory course for students, it would undoubtedly create a safer film and TV industry.
Neil Peplow, Director London Film School This course acted as a great refresher and of course, brings to the fore this incredibly important topic through support for safety on sets by the Mark Milsome Foundation.
Lloyd B, Stunt Coordinator/Performer This training has reminded me of the dangers of working on set, the issues that can arise and how they can be eliminated. It has reminded me that MY safety should always come first no matter the size of the production. The training was informative, in-depth and supports a great cause. Thank you.
Thomas H, 2nd AC The Mark Milsome Health & Safety course is the best thing to happen to UK film crew for a long, long time.
Sean Savage, Camera Operator (Game of Thrones, The Witcher, Fast and Furious 9) Well worth doing for all in media production. As important on small productions as large ones. Thoroughly recommend for all levels of experience, even (especially) those with years in the business who may have become complacent...
Hamish B, Director/Cameraman An invaluable resource for promoting a culture of safety among the industry that students, newcomers and even the most experienced veterans can call upon.
Thomas Ellacott, GBCT/Foot in the Door Trainee I urge you to sign up to the MMF’s Online Safety Passport. A 90 minute course that will open your mind to onset responsibilities and inspire you to be a force for positive change.
Chris Ross BSC President - (Everybody’s talking about Jamie, Top Boy) Spending 90 minutes completing the MMF online safety passport is the best investment a crew member can make in their wellbeing on set as well as appreciating the wellbeing of others
Peter Robertson, ACO President (Cyrano, The Little Mermaid, Wonka) This course is an essential element of the creative process regardless of experience or discipline, which should be made mandatory across the industry and in all creative educational institutions such as drama schools. A thoroughly valuable and simple but needed addition to everyone’s skill set.
Neil Alan B, Actor A really well thought-out, designed and delivered course. I would recommend this to all cast and crew of UK Productions and feel it only right and necessary that this course is adopted by Production companies and becomes compulsory in the future.
Paul M, 1st Assistant Director I ask that all NFTS students take this course. It is by far the most engaging, modern and relevant H&S course for students we have found
Jon Wardle, Director, NFTS Mark would still be with us today if this course had existed in 2017. I strongly urge all crew and, very importantly, production, to take this course and make the industry a safer place. Do it for your families, for your colleagues and for Mark. This absolutely should become an industry standard.
Andra Milsome The most engaging safety training I have ever seen, empowering the viewer to speak up, this will improve safety standards and improve lives!
Sunny Bains - Health and Safety Manager, National Film and Television School. At last, in my 25 years of working in Health and Safety with the Film and TV industry there is finally a platform where everyone can access the same health and safety knowledge - 5 Stars.
Jake Edmonds - Health and Safety Expert, Media Safety Ltd. I urge all of you to complete the MMF Online Health & Safety Course, it will prove invaluable to you and deliver a long, happy and safe journey along your chosen route to filmic Nirvana.
Andrew Dunn, BSC, AMPAS, BAFTA (Gosford Park, Precious, Crazy Stupid Love, The Butler)
