Film & TV Safety Support

Adventure Northumberland provides professional safety cover, logistics support, and local expertise for film and television productions. We help crews work efficiently in outdoor, coastal, and remote environments — with robust safety systems and calm, practical decision-making.

We’ve supported productions for the BBC, ITV, Sky, Netflix, as well as dozens of independent production companies. This work isn’t about headlines — it’s about reliability. When conditions change, access is tight, or locations are complex, crews need people who can keep things moving safely and sensibly.

What We Provide

Safety Cover & On-Location Advice Risk-managed oversight for filming in outdoor and coastal locations, including dynamic environments where tides, swell, wind, and terrain can change quickly.
Location Logistics Practical support with access, timings, movement plans, kit considerations, and workable options when plans need to adapt on the day.
Recce Support Location recces with real-world advice on tide windows, conditions, permissions/access constraints, safety controls, and contingency planning.
Water & Coastal Environments Support for coastal filming and water-adjacent work where the difference between “fine” and “not safe” can be a small change in conditions.
RAMS & Documentation Clear, production-friendly risk assessments and method statements, aligned with what crews and coordinators need — detailed, usable, and proportionate.
UK-Wide Support Although based in Northumberland, we regularly support filming projects across the UK when specialist judgement and robust safety systems are required.

How We Work

Our role is to make the location workable and safe, without adding unnecessary friction. We aim to be the calm layer in the background — clear comms, sensible controls, and practical solutions that keep filming moving.

  • Early input: quick calls and recces to flag constraints before they become problems
  • Simple plans: clear movement routes, timings, and “what if” options
  • Condition-led: we work to real tides, swell, weather and daylight — not assumptions
  • Proportionate controls: strong safety standards without over-complicating the shoot
  • Discreet delivery: competent, professional support that doesn’t get in the way

Typical Scenarios We Support

  • Coastal filming where tidal timing and access are critical
  • Cliff, rocky shoreline, and uneven terrain locations
  • Outdoor scenes requiring safe movement plans and practical oversight
  • Remote locations with limited access, comms, or changing conditions
  • Recces that need realistic advice on feasibility and safety controls
