#throwbackthursday 🎬
Throwing it back to one of our important safety tips we shared last year.
Nothing is more important than the health and safety of everyone working on a production. All cast and crew deserve to feel safe at work.
Tip #1: SPEAK UP if you feel unsafe or are being overworked. Speaking up can protect not only yourself, but the people around you.
Let’s keep the conversation going and continue working together to build a safer industry.

Mental health is just as important as physical safety on set, which is why it’s covered in our Health & Safety course.
Long hours, pressure and the demands of the job can really take a toll. Recognising the signs and supporting 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. Mental well-being should never be overlooked 🙏

It was great to share our stand with @kitstart_uk and to meet everyone who stopped by to find out more about the Foundation and the Kit Start initiative.
We loved seeing so many familiar and new faces, including those who’ve completed our ScreenSkills Level 2 Production Safety Passport course.
Many of you also bought raffle tickets. Your support truly means a great deal to us as we continue working towards a safer industry for all 🙏
