Safety Officers
Safety officers ensuring Code du travail compliance and crew protection across Paris studios, heritage sites, and remote French locations.
France's Code du travail imposes specific health and safety obligations on film productions that differ from other markets — detailed risk assessment documentation (Document Unique), mandatory safety briefings, and coordination with DREAL inspectors and local sapeurs-pompiers. French safety officers operate within this regulatory framework, holding nationally recognized certifications and maintaining the documentation standards that French law requires.
Our network includes safety officers experienced on productions at La Cité du Cinéma, on Parisian street shoots, at protected heritage sites like Versailles and Mont-Saint-Michel, and in challenging locations across the Alps, Provence, and coastal France. They manage risk for stunts, pyrotechnics, water work, and aerial sequences within France's specific regulatory environment.

FAQ
Safety Expertise
When do productions need a safety officer?
French Code du travail regulations require safety supervision for stunts, pyrotechnics, large crews, remote locations, and hazardous activities. Production insurance in France also mandates certified safety coverage. We help determine the appropriate level for your specific French production.
What qualifications do your safety officers have?
Our safety officers hold French national health and safety certifications (coordonnateur SPS, SSIAP, or equivalent) with specific training in film production risk management. Many have backgrounds in professional safety coordination with extensive set experience.
What does a risk assessment involve?
We produce Document Unique d'Evaluation des Risques as required by French law — surveying locations, reviewing scripts and stunt plans, identifying hazards, and developing mitigation strategies. Documentation is shared with departments and available for DREAL inspection.
How do you handle stunt safety?
We coordinate with stunt teams, French sapeurs-pompiers, and préfecture authorities for action sequences — reviewing plans, ensuring safety measures, monitoring rehearsals, and verifying equipment. Our officers have experience with major action productions at La Cité du Cinéma and on location.
What about French regulatory compliance?
We ensure full compliance with Code du travail requirements — Document Unique, mandatory safety briefings, incident reporting (déclaration d'accident du travail), DREAL coordination, and all documentation standards that French production law requires.
Do you provide safety training?
We conduct mandatory safety briefings in both French and English for international crews, covering general set safety and specific hazards for each French location or sequence. Specialized training is arranged for high-risk activities as required by French regulation.
