Safety Officers
Certified safety professionals ensuring crew protection and OHS compliance across Croatian productions.
Film production safety in Croatia is governed by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Zakon o zaštiti na radu), with enforcement through the State Inspectorate. Productions face unique hazards including water-based filming along the Adriatic, work at heights on medieval fortifications, extreme summer heat in Dalmatia, and the logistical challenges of island and old town locations with limited emergency access. A qualified safety officer ensures compliance with Croatian law while managing these location-specific risks.
Through NeedAFixer, we connect you with safety officers who hold recognised Croatian OHS certifications and understand the specific demands of film production. Our network includes professionals experienced with water safety along the Adriatic coast, heritage site filming in Dubrovnik's UNESCO-listed old town, and the stunt coordination requirements of the international productions that Croatia's generous cash rebate programme attracts.

Safety Expertise
When do productions need a safety officer?
Croatian OHS regulations require safety supervision for productions involving hazardous activities, stunts, special effects, large crews, or challenging locations. Water-based filming, heritage site work, and island locations typically require dedicated safety coverage.
What qualifications do your safety officers have?
Our safety officers hold recognised Croatian OHS certifications (stručnjak zaštite na radu) with specific training in film production safety. Many carry additional credentials in water rescue, first aid, and working at heights.
What does a risk assessment involve?
We survey locations, review production plans and scripts, identify potential hazards, evaluate risk levels, and develop mitigation strategies. Risk assessments are documented according to Croatian standards and shared with relevant departments.
How do you handle stunt safety?
We work closely with stunt coordinators to review action sequences, ensure proper safety measures are in place, monitor rehearsals and filming, and verify all safety equipment. Our safety officers have experience with the large-scale action sequences that international productions film in Croatia.
What about Croatian regulatory compliance?
We ensure compliance with Croatian Occupational Health and Safety Act requirements, including risk documentation, safety briefings, incident reporting to the State Inspectorate, and coordination with heritage protection authorities when filming at protected sites.
Do you provide safety training?
We conduct safety briefings for cast and crew covering general set safety, water safety protocols, heat illness prevention, and specific hazards for each location. Briefings are delivered in Croatian and English.
