FilmSafe, powered by Whole Picture Health and the Health & Safety Institute (HSI), offers a comprehensive solution for managing occupational health and safety in the Canadian film and television industry.
Our platform is designed to streamline incident reporting, ensure compliance, and promote a culture of safety on every production.
The film and television industry is characterized by transient project-based companies, which has historically led to a shortfall in consistent occupational health infrastructure. Crew are often responsible for complex and legaly mandated health and safety, but often lack formal training in this area. This, combined with the complex, fragmented nature of workers' compensation and accident on set reporting requirements, can cause significant issues.
Many on set events go unreported, leading to legal, insurance, and industry exposure. Failure to complete filings within the legally mandated timelines can result in declined claims and late filing penalties. FilmSafe addresses these issues by providing a centralized platform for incident reporting, compliance, and health and safety data analysis.
