I entered the film industry in 1989/1990 and transitioned to construction safety in 2010 specializing in High Rise & Multi unit; Industrial Plants; Mining & oil & gas sectors. Certified in EMR, OFA3 and NCSO, I merged this expertise into film industry safety in 2015. Our team comprises seasoned safety consultants, offering comprehensive service: industry compliance, hazard identification, risk mitigation, orientations & training, and on set safety management. We facilitate regulatory orientations & meetings, advisement at Prep, Filming and Wrap--for compliance reporting to WSBC & other authorities. Our goal is to minimize risks and injuries while ensuring compliance with all regulatory bodies.
My team at Reel Film Safety is made up of skilled professionals with diverse backgrounds. We work collaboratively with productions to provide our clients with tailored solutions that meet their unique needs and stay consistent with all regulations & local guidelines. When needed, our team of experienced consultants can assist your production on a part & full time basis. Set up a call to talk further!
Welcome to Reel Film Safety-- your trusted source for experienced safety consulting services in the film industry. We provide risk mitigation services on a contractual basis for all studios, whether only prep (orientations & tech surveys) or larger full time in person safety advisors from prep to wrap.
With lots of moving parts, we can make sure that every department is better prepared for site specific & general hazards.
Having worked with workers across several industries, our safety consultants communicate confidently in a multitude of situations. Whether doing a smaller crew training sessions or larger safety meetings, our on site safety advisors are very capable for all unique situations. Regardless of the size of the production or the large scale scene work, the overall safety of your crew is our first priority.
SO MANY REGULATORY BODIES...
Does your advisor have an understanding of the applicable regs for the type of work we are doing? From written fall protection plans to pre job hazard meetings, your safety advisor needs to know any pertinent regulations for many different areas. Effective communication of these regs and up to date paperwork, should WSBC, or other regulatory body need to see it.
**Not only do we have a good working knowledge of these regs we stay current in terms of any recent amendments to them.
GOOD TO HAVE A HEALTHY SKEPTICISM..
It is important to verify your potential client's credentials & experience. If they say they have 15 or 20 years experience, why does it appear that they only have 1 or 2 actual years of experience? Where did they complete these other "years of experience" and if so, why are they not highlighting this on their resume? If they have taken shortcuts to advance before they are ready, what other shortcuts are they willing to take? A truly qualified safety advisor should be happy to verify their education & past work in both film and in other areas of OH & S safety. Myself & my team have been well vetted and I work closely with productions to provide excellent safety advisement from day 1.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles.. While unfortunately no one knows absolutely everything, it is helpful to have an excellent working knowledge in multiple areas to provide pertinent safety advisement regardless of the situation. Beyond any location's specific safety rules, it is also critical to stay relevant to changes in regulations & municipal bylaws that may affect us and the best practices to support production in these evolving areas. My CV & other RFS consultant's CV's are regularly being updated with courses & experience. Reel Film Safety Ltd carries the legal obligatory insurance & WSBC coverage for any additional consultants.
You may be happy to know that I have kept my rates to the same competitive levels since I began doing film industry safety.
Please call to inquire about specifics, and I am happy to forward you my service agreement and rate sheet. All of the details of what we offer and how much I charge is listed there.
Recent Full length Features
"Recently I produced a feature that employed Greg as the safety consultant. He assisted in keeping us in compliance in an out of Province production which meant following all of their local WCB regulations. He was proactive for each stage of production in dealing with safety concerns so that each department head could focus on their individual goals and objectives.
He was very active in prep including location scouts, surveys, production meetings and later for on set filming days. Whatever concerns we faced it was helpful to know we had full time safety with knowledge and experience and who communicated in a collaborative, positive manner. He was able to address any needs or concerns efficiently and thereby helped to minimize any potential costly delays. I recommend you consider him for your next project." ---M Ewing Producer-- "Prey"
