Key Points

There are a broad range of locations where recording may take place. These locations may include swimming pools, open water, rivers, harbours, ports, docks, lakes, canals, quays etc. These locations will have different restrictions on what, where and how we can record, depending on the hazards present and the restrictions imposed by those who manage and maintain the site.

Production should ask the managing organisation for safety information which should include any restrictions which may have an impact on the recording. These hazards and their controls should be incorporated in the production risk assessment. Permission is required when:

Filming on water on private property;
Firing rockets or other distress signals;
Firing maroons, weapons or explosives.
Using smoke or fire.
Simulating accidents, drowning, sinking etc.
