With temperatures rising across the UK, it’s important that productions take proactive steps to protect cast and crew working on set, on location, and within studio environments.
Heat-related illness can develop quickly, particularly during long shooting days, under lighting rigs, in costume, PPE, or remote locations.
🔹 Stay hydrated throughout the day
🔹 Schedule regular breaks where possible
🔹 Ensure shaded or cooled rest areas are available
🔹 Monitor vulnerable crew members closely
🔹 Be aware of early signs of heat exhaustion:
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Excessive sweating
• Fatigue or confusion
If symptoms worsen or someone becomes confused, collapses, or stops sweating, seek urgent medical assistance immediately.
At Silver Screen Medics, we continue supporting productions with professional on-set healthcare, welfare support, and medical planning during periods of extreme weather.
Stay safe. Look after your crew.
