Film crew gets the health and safety lowdown
June 1st 2008

Needing a safe pair of hands to film a health and safety video, London based global mining company, Anglo American, called upon Surrey agency Flipside to go underground at its Union platinum mine in South Africa.

The video documents the safety success of Anglo's 'Zero Harm' campaign in an environment where risk is ever-present. The team at Union mine has worked hard to turn around attitudes to safety, and the video was made to show the world how seriously big mining corporations approach the challenges of protecting their workforce.

The team was led by Flipside director Neil Christie, an award-winning film-maker, who took a crew down the mine's Spud Shaft to record the practical approach to health and safety at depth.
