Health & Safety Compliance

Here is how this works in practice. Peruvian workplace safety on film sets is set by Ley 29783 (Ley de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo) administered by SUNAFIL, with SCTR workplace insurance compulsory for every crew member engaged on a Peruvian payroll.

Here is the short of it. The risk profile is more demanding than a typical European or North American shoot because the Peruvian schedule frequently spans sea-level Lima, the Cusco basin at 3,400m, Andes passes above 4,500m on the way to Puno or Lake Titicaca, and Amazon basin units in Madre de Dios or Tambopata with yellow fever, dengue, and malaria exposure.

Here is the breakdown. Our safety planning starts with a written risk assessment for every location and unit — a controlled studio day in Lima reads very differently to a night exterior at the Ollantaytambo terraces or a canopy rig in Manú. Safety officers we deploy are accredited under SUNAFIL rules, carry bilingual reporting skill, and are equipped to brief crews in Spanish and Quechua where the unit base needs it.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Day-to-day execution turns those plans into routine. Altitude protocols cover acclimatization windows for crew arriving at Cusco from sea level, coca leaf and oxygen support on set, and rapid descent planning for any crew member who presents with HACE or HAPE symptoms. Amazon units carry yellow fever vaccination records, malaria and dengue prophylaxis, and evacuation routes mapped to the nearest river or airstrip with helicopter contacts on standby.

Here is how the picture comes together. Stunt rigs, drone passes cleared under DGAC, water work in the Pacific or on Lake Titicaca, and any pyrotechnic effect get walked through with qualified personnel Peruvian law needs, with insurance certificates from Rímac Seguros, Pacífico Seguros, or Mapfre Perú prepared in parallel. We set up with on-set medics, plan hospital routes from Cusco's Clínica Pardo or Lima's Clínica Anglo-Americana, and keep a clear escalation path for incidents — so SUNAFIL inspections close fast and shoots stay on schedule from Iquitos to Arequipa.
