💥 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗺. 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵. 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲. Special effects are what turn a good production into an unforgettable experience. But how do you pull off the jaw-dropping stunts safely when you're literally playing with fire?

While a fleet of trucks and drivers makes for a seamless physical production, behind the scenes lies a complex range of health and safety hazards. How we handle logistics actually shapes the safety culture of the entire set.

Blending hard regulatory data with human storytelling, this session reveals why minor driving red flags and careless loss and damage are often the ultimate early warning signs of more serious on-set incidents.
