Slates for Sarah - Safety App

After the death of Camera-Assistant Sarah Jones on the set of Midnight Rider, Safety for Sarah has been working to spread awareness about crew safety and on-set working conditions.

The “Safety App” was created in 2014 and provides assistance to crew members with calling safety hotlines and reporting set safety issues and unsafe hours, anonymously if they prefer. Users can upload pictures of time cards showing evidence of long hours which will then be shared with unions and guilds to support them in the fight for safer working conditions. Provides links to US Studio Hotline database and access to CSATF Safety Bulletins so that users can check safety precautions for different working environments.

The “Safety App” is free to download and available on both Android and Apple devices.​
