## About This Service

Film production in Georgia is not only a creative field but a sphere of labor relations: the health and safety of people working on a set are protected by the Law of Georgia on Labor Safety. This page explains the norms that matter most to production organizers: registration of activity corresponding to heavy, harmful and dangerous works involving increased risk (Article 4), employer obligations (Article 5), prevention and risk assessment (Article 6), and the classification of a workplace accident (Article 14). These requirements operate within the general labor-safety regime, and their breach carries legal consequences for the employer.
