Water Quality & Safety

Working in the water presents a number of safety hazards. If performers or crew are entering a natural body of water, we recommend sampling the water beforehand for bacteria and contaminants. Also, depending on the situation, there may be a need for rescue boats and divers, a standby paramedic, and other safety precautions. This is especially true in the ocean, fast-moving rivers and streams, and murky water.

You should contact your Production Safety Specialist if you have any questions or concerns, and refer to all applicable AMPTP Safety Bulletins.
