CPR & Emergency Training for Film and Television Productions
East Coast Safety Consulting provides CPR training for the film industry, with discreet, experienced instructors available for productions in New York City, New Jersey and Los Angeles.
Prepare your crew, actors and other production personnel with practical CPR, AED, First Aid, Bloodborne Pathogens and emergency training planned around the demands of your production.
Instructors with experience on both sides of the camera
Film and television work has its own pace, privacy expectations and scheduling challenges. Our instructors are discreet and have experience on both sides of the camera, helping them work comfortably with cast, crew and production teams.
We coordinate with your production contact to plan a suitable training space, participant groups and timing. Whether you need a session before filming begins or training at your working location, we focus on clear instruction and practical skills.
CPR, AED, First Aid & Emergency Training Options
We offer training through the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Red Cross (ARC). We help your production choose the appropriate course, certification organization and format for its personnel.
CPR & AED
Hands-on CPR and AED courses for cast, crew and other personnel, including AHA and ARC options appropriate to the audience.
First Aid, CPR & AED
Combined training for productions seeking broader emergency-response preparation, including AHA Heartsaver and ARC course options.
BLS for Healthcare Personnel
Basic Life Support training for production medical personnel or others whose role requires healthcare-provider certification.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Training for personnel whose work may involve exposure concerns, with discussion of workplace procedures and appropriate response.
Other Emergency Training
Discuss bleeding-control education, emergency awareness, response planning and other training suited to your production’s needs.
Equipment Familiarization
Separate, product-specific instruction for AEDs, LifeVac devices and first aid go-bags supplied for your production.
Pre-Production or On-Set Training Around Your Filming Schedule
We recommend completing training during pre-production, when there is more room to coordinate attendance and hands-on practice before filming gets underway.
If filming has already started, we can also provide on-set training for crew, actors and other personnel. We discuss call times, location access, group sizes and production breaks to find a workable plan.
Scheduling can be adjusted to your filming schedule while maintaining the required curriculum, practice and skills evaluations for the course selected.
- Coordinate training with production management before the shoot.
- Arrange sessions at a suitable set, studio, production office or other approved space.
- Plan groups and timing around department and cast availability.
Training Teams in NYC / New Jersey & Los Angeles
Our teams are available to train productions in New York City and New Jersey, as well as Los Angeles. Share your filming location, proposed dates and participant count so we can coordinate instructor availability and logistics.
From a small cast-and-crew session to training across departments, we can discuss a plan that fits your production.
AED, LifeVac & First Aid Go-Bag Sales and Training
We offer AED sales, LifeVac sales and first aid kit go-bag sales, along with training and equipment familiarization for production personnel.
- AEDs: discuss equipment options and instruction for your production team.
- LifeVac: purchase and separate device-specific training through ECSC.
- First aid go-bags: discuss kit options and familiarization with the supplied contents.
Tell us what equipment you already have and what you would like to add. We can coordinate equipment and training as part of your production inquiry.
Arrange a Small Medical Team for Your Set
We can also arrange for a small medical team to be on set during stunt sequences, extreme heat or cold, or larger productions that need additional medical support.
Share the nature of the shoot, location, expected headcount, hours and planned activities. We will discuss staffing availability, the appropriate scope of support and how the team can coordinate with your production’s safety and stunt planning.
Training and on-set medical staffing can be discussed together or arranged as separate services.
