Production health & safety, done in person

Medirek's production safety advisors attend your tech recce, listen to what you want to achieve and write RAMS specific to your production: not a generic template or a software login. Then, if you need it, the same team puts a safety manager on site with water safety, fire cover and medics behind them.

Choose documentation only, an on-site safety manager, or the full team.

Visible, mobile and part of the crew

Medirek briefs its staff not to sit in their car all day or raid craft services. They are briefed to be visible and mobile, to get to know the crew and to deal with ailments and niggles early, before they turn into something that costs the production time and money.

The aim is not just medical cover. It is the overall safety and medical needs of the production.
