Employer’s liability
Fastscreen provides full employer’s liability insurance to meet all the legal requirements set in place by UK law. Employer’s Liability provides cover in the event of bodily injury, disease or death arising from production or work, and must be referred to in an employee’s contract. Employer’s liability is one of the main areas of our contracts and Fastscreen will ensure you’re properly covered and compliant with the law.
Tech equipment
Another core aspect of the Fastscreen package, technical equipment insurance will be there to save you when a bolt fails and a thousand pounds of studio lighting falls twenty feet onto concrete. Technical equipment insurance covers both shooting equipment and post-production computers and systems, making sure you’ve got the tools to bring your vision to life.
Hired equipment
Hired equipment makes much more sense for smaller productions for economic and practical reasons. Make sure you can get the equipment you need and the confidence to use it with Fastscreen’s hired equipment cover, and avoid expensive hire company insurance policies.
Public liability
Minimise your impact on the world around you and make sure you’ve covered in respect to injury or property damage caused by your production’s activities. You can’t control members of the public tripping over cables or camera cars accidentally bending fenders in heavy traffic, but you can ensure you’re covered and able to pay for any damage. Fastscreen will help with both risk reduction and successfully navigating insurance claims in the unlikely event that you need to make them.

Employer’s liability
Once you’re working with larger projects your employee counts will rise, and employer’s liability will become much more important. Don’t lose touch with anyone on your shoot, from talent and camera crew right down to runners and interns. Make sure everyone’s looked after with Fastscreen production insurance.
Tech equipment
Larger shoots don’t have to be more technically complex, but there’s no reason not to make sure that you can source and use the equipment you need to get the shots you want. Package 2 technical equipment cover from Fastscreen provides an affordable insurance policy that covers all the technical risks of your production, giving you the freedom to be as complex or as simple as you want.
Hired-in equipment
Hiring equipment is a key part of modern film shoots, but rental company insurance policies can pile up fast. Get a one-stop all-inclusive solution for hired equipment coverage with Fastscreen package 2’s hired equipment cover and get the kit you need to get the shots you require.
Public liability
Fastscreen’s expanded package 2 provides full public liability cover that meets legal requirements and comes in an all-inclusive package that takes the headaches out of film production insurance arrangements. Fastscreen can provide advice on minimising public liability and help you with liability claims – all part of the service.
Professional indemnity
Errors and Omissions, data loss, mistakes on set and many other mistakes all leave filmmakers liable for professional indemnity claims. Fastscreen provides a belt-and-braces solution, with our policy providing cover and the experts at Charles Milnes and Company providing decades of industry experience to help you avoid simple mistakes and get your shoot running like a well-oiled professional machine.
