Episode 231 - Workplace injury and claims in production

Workplace injuries are widespread across UK film, television and theatre production, yet many never appear in claims data. So what does this mean for insurers trying to understand the levels of risk? In this episode of the Journal podcast, Vanessa Riboloni speaks with Injury Prevention Consultancy (IPC) founder, Tome Levi, about the safety and reporting gaps facing the entertainment sector. They explore why performers may feel pressured to work through injuries, how a single incident can affect an entire production, and why low claims frequency does not necessarily indicate low risk. The discussion also considers how better reporting, earlier insurer involvement and more accurate risk profiling could encourage safer working practices and help the market get ahead of potential exposures.
