  1. Four Film-Set Accidents That Should Be Avoided

  2. Every year, film production crews see dozens of work-related injuries. So many of these incidents are caused by negligence and could be prevented. Filmmakers are encouraged to take risks, but these risks can lead to injury, derailing their shooting schedules. These injuries can end careers, and occasionally, end someone’s life.

  4. Weight Weight is the first hazard on this list because it accounts for the most accidents on film sets. Movies and TV shows have plenty of heavy props to lift and move, it only takes a slight miscalculation to injure yourself in any number of ways. Practicing safe lifting practices helps avoid back or knee injuries, and muscle strains. Do not be a hero, let someone help with the torque or use machinery to move heavy objects.

  5. Electricity Filmmaking needs light and electricity to power the equipment. That is why electricity surges up to the second spot on this list. Technology has made equipment lighter and more energy-efficient, but the old and damaged equipment is still around with exposed wires and unprotected power sources waiting to electrocute unsuspecting workers.

  6. Falls Falls are one of the most common production accidents. Crewmembers are consistently falling off ladders, lifts, scaffolds, towers, rooftops, or other high stuff. Even the most cautious people can get caught up in the excitement of the set and take uncharacteristic chances that lead to injury.

  7. Fatigue Filmmaking can be a grueling process. You should take the opportunity to rest, or fatigue will set in. Your senses will dull. Your normal motor skills will become impaired. You do not assess risk as an alert person would.

  8. When Should You Contact A Lawyer? Filmmakers and production crews aspire to make something new in as little time as possible. Amid all this contagious energy, people lose themselves and feel like the safety rules no longer apply. Dangerous situations will undoubtedly arise. One lapse of judgment can lead to a work-related accident that leaves you struggling to earn a living and secure your future.
