MMF H&S Passport

A Health and Safety survey was launched industry-wide by the Foundation in the summer of 2020 to assess whether an H&S course would be welcomed by crew and productions. 5000 confidential responses and related experiences were assessed. All results and comments are available on the MMF website (www.markmilsomefoundation.com/supporters) but key findings included: 

• 63% Believe the current H&S regulations need improving. 

• 20% Do not believe H&S is adequate at all. 

• 84% Say working hours, sleep deprivation, driving whilst tired was main H&S concern 

• 80% Believe budget restrictions are to blame for poor H&S 

• 22% Only say UK productions ‘always’ respect regulations 

When asked if crew and production would be interested in taking this Film & TV Online Safety Passport course (cost of £20 plus vat) 72% of respondents said they would voluntarily enrol on the course rising to 94% if it became recognised as an industry standard. Based on these findings, Kirk Jones started writing this course and the project went into production in October 2021 with the full support of the National Film and Television School and technical support from Media Safety Ltd
