Suitable for a wide variety of production crew roles from researchers, production managers, producers/directors to camera operators. 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. You could potentially save time and money by assessing a location's suitability for filming or be aware of safety concerns and cover needed before the project progresses.
