SERIOUS ABOUT FILM

Health and Safety Statement for Filming on Location

At Rebel Boy Media, we take the health and safety of our employees, clients, and the public very seriously. As a small video production business, we appoint a competent person to take on the responsibility for health and safety.

We understand that filming on location can present a range of hazards and risks, and we are committed to taking all necessary measures to prevent accidents and injuries.

We have developed the following health and safety statement for filming on location to ensure that our employees, clients, and the public are safe at all times during the production:

Risk Assessment

We conduct a thorough risk assessment before each location shoot to identify any potential hazards and take appropriate measures to minimize the risks. Our appointed competent person works closely with the production team to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to prevent accidents and injuries.

Site Survey

We conduct a site survey before each location shoot to identify any potential obstacles, hazards, or other issues that could affect the safety of the production. We ensure that all necessary permissions and licenses required for filming are obtained, and that all our filming activities are conducted in accordance with any conditions set out in the permits.

Safety Measures

We take all necessary safety measures to ensure a safe and responsible filming on location. We ensure that all our equipment is well maintained and in good working order. Our electrical equipment, such as cameras and drones, are safety tested on a regular basis to ensure that they are safe to use. We also ensure that we have the necessary safety equipment and first aid supplies on hand.

Battery Safety

We take extra precautions to ensure the safety of our equipment and the safety of those around us, particularly when it comes to drone batteries. These high-powered batteries require special care and attention to ensure that they are safe to use during filming. We follow the necessary safety procedures for charging and maintaining drone batteries, and ensure that they are stored safely in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Our appointed competent person ensures that all our employees are aware of the proper battery handling procedures to prevent accidents and injuries. We use batteries that meet industry safety standards to ensure that they are safe and reliable for use during filming. We also take the necessary measures to prevent any potential fire or explosion hazards and always follow manufacturer recommendations for battery use.

By taking these measures, we are committed to promoting a safe and responsible filming on location at all times. If you have any questions or concerns about our battery safety procedures, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@rebelboymedia.com.

Health and Safety Training

All our employees who are involved in filming on location are required to undergo health and safety training to ensure that they understand the potential hazards and how to mitigate them. We ensure that all our employees are trained to operate equipment in a safe and responsible manner and have a thorough understanding of the current rules and regulations that apply to filming on location.

Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations

We comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to filming on location, including health and safety legislation and any relevant permits or licenses. Our appointed competent person works closely with the production team to ensure that all our filming activities are conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

Our health and safety statement for filming on location is based on the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, which places a duty on employers to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees and others who may be affected by their work activities. We take this duty seriously and are committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all our employees.

Non-Compliant Filming Activities

We will not undertake any filming activities that we believe to be unsafe or in breach of any UK laws or regulations. If any part of the production would require us to film in a way that we believe is unsafe or breaks any UK laws or regulations, we will not complete that part of the production and will not refund any payment made for that part of the production.

This health and safety statement for filming on location is a part of our overall health and safety policy and applies to all our filming activities. We regularly review and update our health and safety policy and statement to ensure that
