Our approach

How we keep water work safe

We work alongside stunt coordinators, production management and the costume department so safety never compromises the shot. We support anything from small shoots to large-scale productions.

  1. Risk assessment and planning

    Water conditions, temperature, visibility, entry and exit points and rescue zones.

  2. Rescue and recovery in position

    Rescue swimmers, boats and technicians placed in and around the water for every take.

  3. Performer welfare monitoring

    Fatigue and cold-water shock checks, including core body temperature monitoring.

  4. Medical cover on standby

    Unit medics ready for immediate assessment throughout filming.
