Products & Services

Comprehensive Risk Assessment

Our Comprehensive Risk Assessments are delivered by specialist health and safety and security experts. They provide independent, expert advice on your film production or project’s exposure to risk – from identifying issues that could potentially damage your reputation to hazards that could threaten the physical safety of your team and crew members.

We analyze the security, safety, medical and reputational risks associated with your location, planned activities and logistics. This takes into consideration geopolitical trends and conflicts, access to medical facilities and the prevalence of disease, and any activities taking place in challenging environments, such as water-based or alpine endeavors.

We then provide recommendations for minimizing your risks and the GFS risk management plans and services that can assist you. Your production will receive an industry-recognized Certificate of Risk Assessment and License, which helps satisfy your insurer that you are observing international best practices in risk management.

Risk Review

GFS Risk offers a comprehensive risk review and gap analysis of a film or TV production or project’s existing risk assessment, plans or protocols. We make recommendations on how to adhere to best practices and industry standards if your current or proposed risk mitigation control methods are inadequate.
