Ensuring compliance with all environmental and safety regulations involves a series of steps that combine planning, training, and continuous improvement. 

• Understand applicable regulation

When ensuring you are in compliance with environmental and safety regulations, familiarize yourself with the regulations that pertain to your film’s production. This could include OSHA (Occupational Hazard and Health Administration) regulations, EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, or industry guidelines. Make sure to keep in mind that regulations change over time, so it is important to stay up to date on current laws and standards. 

• Create a compliance management system 

You should create and document internal policies that align with environmental and safety regulations. Ensure that these policies are available and understandable to all employees. Parts of a compliance management system include the conduction of risk assessment and the creation of compliance checklists. 

• Employee training

It is important that you provide regular training sessions to employees about the standards and regulations that must be upheld. You should also encourage a culture where employees feel responsible for maintaining their own safety and that of those around them. 

• Document compliance

You should be consistently monitoring the environmental impact of your film’s production, as well as ensuring the safety conditions are up to standard. You should also be conducting relatively frequent internal audits to ensure that all parts of production align with safety standards.

• Develop a corrective action plan

In the event that any violations or lapses on standards occur, having a corrective action plan in place to deal with complications can be useful. A corrective action plan should include steps to be taken in the case of specific violations, like the fixing of equipment, modifying of processes, or the retraining of employees.
