Frequently Asked Questions About Set Medics and On-Set Safety
Set medics play a critical role in ensuring the safety of the cast and crew on set. This FAQ answers the most common questions about our services, what we provide, and how we can support your production. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
What set medics bring to productions.
The difference between BLS and ALS services.
Why does every production, big or small, benefit from a certified set medic?
The types of productions we support and locations we serve.
A set medic is a trained medical professional, such as an EMT or paramedic, who provides on-set emergency care and ensures the safety of cast and crew during film, TV, or live productions. They are prepared for everything from minor injuries to major emergencies.
Every set medic arrives equipped with a Basic Life Support (BLS) kit, which includes essential first-aid supplies such as bandages, splints, antiseptics, and over-the-counter medications. They also carry items like electrolytes and sunscreen to address common on-set needs and keep the crew safe and comfortable throughout the day.
Most productions we work on use Basic Life Support (BLS). Unless your production involves stunts, hazardous environments, remote locations, or other dangers that significantly increase the risk of trauma, BLS will typically be sufficient. For productions with greater risks, Advanced Life Support (ALS) might be required. In fact, 95% of the productions we support operate with BLS-level care.
Basic Life Support (BLS): Focuses on non-invasive care, such as CPR, bandaging, and stabilizing injuries.
Advanced Life Support (ALS): Involves more complex interventions like administering medications, IV fluids, and advanced airway management. Learn more about the differences between BLS and ALS.
Accidents aren’t planned, and even smaller productions can face unexpected medical needs. Whether you’re filming in a controlled studio or an outdoor location, having a set medic ensures the safety and well-being of your crew. From minor injuries to unforeseen emergencies, our medics are trained to handle it all, giving you peace of mind to focus on your production.
