Safety Officers
Certified safety pros making sure crew protection and regulatory compliance across Turkish shoots.
Here is how this works in practice. Film production safety in Turkey is ruled by Turkish occupational safety law (6331), with enforcement through ÇSGB (Ministry of Labour and Social Security). Productions face location-specific hazards including seismic risk, extreme summer heat, and the unique terrain challenges of Cappadocia's volcanic landscape. A qualified safety officer makes sure compliance with local law while managing the specific risks of stunts, pyrotechnics, water work, and the site-level challenges unique to filming in Turkey.
Here is the short of it. Through NeedAFixer, we connect you with safety officers who hold recognised Turkish safety certifications and know the specific demands of film production. Our network has pros skilled with action sequences at Korda Studios Istanbul and Antalya Studios and the safety challenges of the varied filming environments that Turkey gives to global shoots.

On Location
Turkish set-safety officers manage risk on Istanbul and location shoots, working within the country's occupational health and safety framework and alongside SHGM-regulated drone work.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We supply safety officers who manage on-set risk for shoots in Turkey, assessing hazards, writing risk plans and running the safe execution of stunts, action sequences, water work and crowd scenes. Our team places safety officers who brief crew, monitor compliance through the shoot and set up closely with the assistant directors, stunt teams and set medics. Because Turkish shoots range from central Istanbul to remote eastern locations, the safety officers we engage plan for heat, terrain and access conditions, advise on the needs that apply to drone and special-effects work, and integrate safety planning into schedules budgeted in Turkish lira against the up-to-30% cash rebates.
Here is how the picture comes together. Safety on Turkish sets operates within the country's occupational health and safety legislation. Productions are expected to manage risk methodically across each department. Drone operations are covered by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (Sivil Havacılık Genel Müdürlüğü / SHGM). This a safety officer factors into aerial sequences, while heritage and religious sites bring their own access and conduct conditions. The scale of the 'dizi' industry has built safety pros skilled in steady production and in the hazards of large historical-epic shoots involving horses, pyrotechnics and crowds. Coordinated with set-medical provision, a Turkish safety officer keeps a production both compliant and genuinely safe.
