Overview
“Working in TV and having to risk assess scenes filmed in water, this course has given me so much more confidence in both assessing risks and implementing safety measures, as well as when to employ specialist H&S professionals. I now understand how the dangers could escalate in certain situations for contributers and crew. I would really recommend this course.” Vicky Hoy, Producer - Clarkson’s FarmDesigned combining governing body Rescue 3’s over forty years of experience developing and accrediting safety and technical rescue courses with training provider Adventure Consultancy Worldwide Ltd's Director Anthony Eddies-Davies who runs the courses and has over 30 years experience training emergency services in safety, plus a proven track record working with production companies on shoot as location producers, safety cover & consultants, film fixers, logistics experts in a variety of challenging locations and terrains. Adventure Consultancy is uniquely placed to train Production Crews called to work near and in water on shoots and recces. Our TV & Film clients include the BBC, Netflix, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Disney, Sky, Warner Bros and Amazon Prime. Most recently we have provided safety consultancy and cover for The Grand Tour's challenging series episodes in Vietnam/Cambodia, Mauritania and Zimbabwe and were Location Producer for World's Most Dangerous Roads in Bhutan.
Our tailored courses address the varied roles of production team members from researchers, production managers, producers/directors to camera operators, instilling confidence when researching, planning and working in different and potentially challenging location environments. Critically they teach what basic safe practices need to be considered and implemented.
Participants gain an internationally recognised qualification valid for 3 years to add to their CV’s. Whilst not negating the need for specialist off-site safety advisors in the different stages of production, candidates will gain the knowledge to assess potential shoot locations at the outset, potentially saving time and money on recces to unsuitable locations, as well as ensuring better logistical and safety planning for recces and shoots.
Health and safety and insurance company requirements are increasing around the safety of shoots, and a more qualified production team and crew is a clear advantage when assessing and working in potentially hazardous locations. All PPE is provided for the course including drysuits.
Course Content
Over 2 days, based on our site on the beautiful Shropshire/Worcestershire border the syllabus delivers an understanding of safe systems of work, including risk assessments and other forms of pre-planning undertaken by off-site safety advisors. (We also offer closed courses on location anywhere in the world for a Production Team).
A combination of classroom and practical by and in water exrecises teach the realities of working on water on location, what working with on-site safety cover entails - the capabilities of the safety teams and the equipment they’ll be working with. Practical skills for working safely in complex water environments, plus basic self-rescue, and techniques for rescuing a colleague are included in the syllabus.
We have very reasonably priced pod accommodation on site, as well as plenty of local options we can suggest.
