Health and Safety Plan

Film crews are required to comply with the Health & Safety at Work Act 2015. 

Under this legislation, you must ensure so far as reasonably practical that people are not exposed to risks arising from the operation and any place where employees and self-employed persons work is safe. 

Proactive attention by the film crew may be achieved by a process of identification, assessment and control of safety risks. In some circumstances, there may be several parties who owe a concurrent duty of care. 

It is important that safety is comprehensively managed and communicated by and between all relevant duty holders. 

Upon application, your health and safety plan will be submitted to the Health and Safety Advisor to process. The Health and Safety Advisor will notify you or any further requirements for your production. 

Privacy Act 1993

It may, therefore, be distributed to other Christchurch City Council departments, external agencies and for public notification as required.
