Expert Safety Consultation for

Film and Television Productions

- Because making movies shouldn’t hurt.

Who we are

Hightower Safety provides specialized safety consulting for film and television productions, helping creative teams bring ambitious stories to life while protecting cast, crew, and production assets. Led by veteran safety consultant Keith Hightower, the company combines Keith’s extensive industry experience with practical, on-the-ground support tailored to the realities of modern production.

Keith Hightower is widely recognized as a leading authority in production safety. With decades of professional training and hands-on experience across a broad range of film and television environments, he has built a reputation for clear judgment, calm leadership, and an unwavering commitment to supporting productions to realize their creative vision while minimizing risk and liability. His work spans complex stunts, challenging locations, tight schedules, and high-pressure sets—where safety planning must be both rigorous and adaptable.

Hightower Safety operates with a collaborative model. While Keith remains directly involved in safety strategy, planning, and oversight, he positions Safety Representatives on the ground to support day-to-day production needs. Keith’s representatives act as his eyes and ears when he is not on set and remain in frequent contact with him so that he can provide guidance on what to look for and how to proceed as new information comes in. This approach ensures that productions benefit from Keith’s expertise on time and on budget.

Experience That Makes a Meaningful Difference

At Hightower Safety, Safety consulting is not simply about checklists or compliance—it’s about understanding how productions actually function and integrating appropriate safety measures while supporting the realization of the creative vision and production goals.

Hightower Safety brings a depth of experience that allows potential risks to be anticipated and identified early, communicated clearly, and addressed while minimizing disruption to creative momentum.

In an industry where safety roles are sometimes filled by individuals with limited production-specific experience, or individuals with production experience but limited safety-specific knowledge, training and experience, Hightower Safety offers a unique depth of experience in both safety and film and television.

Keith’s background allows him to anticipate challenges others often overlook and to offer solutions informed by real-world production demands. The result is a safety program that truly minimizes risk and liability, prevents tragedies, and supports creativity rather than constraining it.

With Hightower Safety you can have confidence that safety decisions are informed, thoughtful, and aligned with the realities of production life from pre-production through wrap.

Services we offer

Hourly Consultation

Hourly consultations are great when you need guidance with something that has come up or with an overall safety strategy. We regularly sit in on production meetings to provide support and guidance through a Safety Lens.

Attendance on a Technical Scout

A Safety Consultant should be present on all technical scouts to look at locations with an eye for Safety. New and unknown locations can present with a variety of safety risks that may not be obvious at first glance but can derail a project.

Full Project Support

From overall strategy to implementation, consultation, on site presence, paperwork - all of your Safety needs are taken care of by our team.

Budget

Our rates are in line with services of comparable quality. Hourly and Daily rates are available upon request.

We understand the time and budget pressures productions face. With all of the demands that come with bringing a project to fruition, it can be hard to know where safety fits on the list of priorities.

Having prevented many critical incidents and knowing the social, emotional and financial and human costs that come when proper safety practices are not in place, we cannot stress the importance of proper prevention enough.
