Why Non-Union Productions Rely on Set Medics: 5 Key Reasons for Safer, Smarter Filming
Non-union productions are thriving, fueling creativity across independent films, streaming projects, photo shoots, and live events. These productions often run on tight budgets and tight schedules—challenges that make safety one of the most crucial, yet overlooked, priorities.
Hiring professional set medics is more than just a precaution; it’s a game-changer. Set medics provide peace of mind, reduce liability, and ensure every member of the crew stays safe, productive, and ready to create. Here are five compelling reasons why non-union productions rely on set medics to keep their projects running smoothly.
1. Immediate Emergency Response
Accidents happen, even on the most organized sets. From sprained ankles on uneven terrain to heat exhaustion under intense lights, having a certified medic on-site can mean the difference between a minor incident and a major disruption.
"Set medics are trained to handle emergencies quickly and efficiently, providing first aid, stabilizing injuries, and coordinating with local emergency services if needed."
2. Compliance with Safety Standards
Non-union productions may not always have the extensive safety protocols of larger, unionized projects. Set medics bridge this gap by ensuring compliance with local regulations and industry best practices.

3. Enhancing Crew Productivity
A safe set is a productive set. When crew members know that medical support is readily available, they can focus fully on their work without distraction.
4. Tailored Expertise for Non-Union Sets
Non-union productions operate with unique constraints, from smaller budgets to unconventional shooting locations. Set medics—like those at The Set Medics—are adept at adapting to these environments.
