Reporting Concerns & Incidents

All SCA students have the right to report safety concerns and to opt-out of any activity or situation that the student feels is unsafe.

Reporting Hierarchy On-Set (Everyday Concerns & Risky Behavior)

Everyone on set is responsible for their own safety and the safety of others.

If you see something unsafe, say something. Students may stop or opt out of any activity they believe is unsafe.

Step 1: Alert the Assistant Director (AD) and/or Producer with any concerns.

Step 2: If there is no immediate danger but you do not feel comfortable raising the issue directly with the AD or Producer, use the Safety Hotline.

Step 3: Concerns can also be reported to key crew members, SCA faculty, the Production Office, the Manager of Production, or Equipment Center staff.

Reports can often be made confidentially.

When in doubt, err on the side of caution, stop before resuming potentially

Accidents & Emergencies

For incidents involving injury, illness, theft, or property damage (on or off campus), the Producer or AD must:

• Call 911 if medical emergency/ambulance required

• Notify DePaul Public Safety

• File a police report if applicable and provide copy to Production Office

• Notify the Production Office

• Follow any additional procedures required by authorities or location reps

Safety Hotline

For immediate emergencies (such as medical emergencies, fire, or an active threat), call 911 or DePaul Public Safety right away.

The SCA Safety Hotline is for reporting on-set incidents or behaviors that made you feel unsafe, or for situations that were not handled appropriately. This includes:

• Unsafe conduct by others on set

• Situations where safety protocols were ignored

• Concerns about harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate behavior

See the Safety Hotline page for details on how to make a report.
