Health & Safety Compliance

Here is the breakdown. We manage health and safety compliance for shoots in Belgium, preparing risk assessments, method statements and safety records that meet EU occupational-safety standards and Belgian federal labour law. Our team produces records in French and Dutch so crew across both language communities know the procedures, appoints qualified safety staff for shoots that need them, and runs safety briefings before the unit starts work.

Here is how that works. We check the hazards specific to each Belgian location — confined medieval streets in Bruges and Ghent, water and tidal risk on the North Sea coast, terrain and remoteness in the forested Ardennes — and we set up with location managers, stunt teams and special-effects suppliers so that high-risk sequences are planned and controlled. Compliance records is structured to satisfy insurers and the standards expected by Tax Shelter financiers and regional funds.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Safety planning on a Belgian shoot connects to the wider regulatory picture. Drone operations fall under the Belgian civil aviation authority and EU/EASA rules, with safety distances and pilot competency needs we build into flight plans. Crowd, traffic and night-work safety is set up with the local authorities and police who also issue filming permits. Productions supported by the VAF, Screen Flanders, Wallimage or screen.brussels, or co-funded by VRT or RTBF, work to pro standards that a logged safety regime helps show. We adapt protocols to Belgium's temperate maritime climate — wet, slippery conditions and short winter daylight raise specific risks — and make sure each department has the info and gear to keep the unit safe without slowing the schedule.
