The Central Committee on Health and Safety and Working Conditions (CCHSCT) of Film Production
The Central Committee for Health, Safety and Working Conditions of Feature Film Production, which is responsible for contributing to the prevention of occupational risks in the film industry, short film and commercial film is a parity industry instance. Created by an agreement that was extended on December 17, 2007, it replaced the former CCHSCT Cinema established in 1963 by an agreement between the social partners.
CCHSCT is an adaptation of the Labour Code provisions relating to corporate CHSCT to take into account the specificity of film production activity. The social partners wanted it to be set up in order to be fully involved in a risk prevention, information and improvement of working conditions in the film production sector.
CCHSCT’s mission is to promote health and safety prevention, information and advice in all workplaces, including studio and outdoor shootings. It is for this purpose that a Health and Safety Delegate has been established, also authorised as a Stakeholder in Prevention of Occupational Risks (IPRP). He carries out these missions through the visits he makes to the various stages and places of shooting of films more particularly, whether during the spotting, the construction or the arrangement of the scenery, during the shooting himself-even, or during the disassembly of the sets.
These are the opportunity to evaluate the risks induced by the different installations or manipulations (decoration, furniture, practicable structures, machinery, electricity...) and, if necessary, propose various corrective actions to improve the safety conditions of the shootings.
The Delegate monitors the implementation of the recommendations he makes and the information he provides during additional visits and through the various information notes he keeps available to employees and employers.
He also advises productions on the preparation of prevention plans, the single risk assessment document, etc., in view of the specificities of each situation.
CCHSCT Film Production has a website (www.cchscinema.org) which has several main sections (Social, Information notes, Training courses, Regulations, Newsletter), fed by articles as well as news briefs.
