At Height, Rock-Based Location Safety Services

ROCK Safety Services

Filming on rock faces or other vertical environments presents its own set of risks, particularly when working at significant heights where falls or loose rock can pose serious dangers. Our team ensures that all safety measures, from secure anchor systems to managing access via roped systems, are thoroughly planned and meticulously executed. We provide expert instruction in rope techniques, safe movement on exposed terrain, and ensure proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), safeguarding both cast and crew throughout the shoot.

In addition to our rock safety specialists, we can provide military advisors with expertise in technical climbing, cliff assaults, and tactical operations on vertical terrain. These advisors offer invaluable guidance for scenes requiring technical accuracy and safety, ensuring that your production maintains both realism and safety in even the most intense or hazardous scenarios.
