Safety

1. Began in 2006 offering Health & Safety (HSE) Service to the film industry. South Africa does not have dedicated film safety policy, so we had to take an innovative approach in solving this problem.

3. We use standards and guidelines from 3 Countries i.e UK (Nebosh), SA (ohsa 1994) and US(Film and TV Guideline of 2000, 2005 ammended), or the injury illness prevention programme.
