Health & Safety Compliance

Here is how this works in practice. We design and run health and safety compliance for shoots shooting across the UAE, start with full risk assessments for each location and activity. Our team appoints qualified safety supervisors, prepares safety records, runs crew briefings and integrates protocols into the call sheet so they do not slow the day.

Here is the short of it. Heat is the dominant on-set risk: during the summer months temperatures reach 45 to 50 degrees with coastal humidity, so we build required hydration, shade rotation and cooling provision into each outdoor schedule and lean on the prime October-to-April window wherever possible. For stunt-heavy work, water sequences and aerial units we set up pro safety teams, and for remote desert shoots in the Liwa region we plan medical cover, communications and evacuation routing to the nearest hospital well in advance.

Here is the breakdown. Compliance in the UAE works within a federal framework of labour and occupational-safety law, applied alongside the conditions attached to permits by emirate authorities such as the Abu Dhabi Film Commission via twofour54 and the Dubai Film and TV Commission. We keep records thorough enough to satisfy studio insurers and completion bonds.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The country has hosted in person demanding shoots, the Burj Khalifa climb in 'Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol', the Etihad Towers stunt in 'Furious 7', the action of '6 Underground', and the large desert units of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and both 'Dune' films, all of which needed careful safety planning.

We bring that same discipline to each shoot, whether on a Dubai Studio City stage or deep in the Empty Quarter, so cast and crew stay covered and the schedule holds.
