The CII has announced that it will join the Injury Prevention Consultancy (IPC) in its campaign to protect performers and crew members across film, television and theatrical production. The professional body will host a roundtable of London Market stakeholders to consider ways to help the creative sector raise its game on safety standards.
Key points to note and next actions
- Contributions from the discussion with underwriters, brokers and claims professionals will help shape the IPC’s Impact of Injury 2026 (IOI26) report. The report will, in turn, drive up standards with guidance on targeted injury prevention models and policies.
- Nearly 80% of cast and crew members working in stage or screen productions have been injured at some point in their careers, according to research into ‘the human toll and economic impact of injury’ laid out in the IPC’s 2025 report. The report highlighted a lack of preventative measures, worsened by a culture of fear in which workers are scared to speak up when they feel in danger.
- IOI26 will provide an updated, industry-wide view of progress, challenges and priorities for action, examining the repercussions of injury on workers, production timelines, insurance claims, and long-term workforce retention.
