Working in the jungles of Sarawak, on the Island of Borneo, Remote Trauma provided safety and health risk management training, advice and support for a challenging new TV series. The objective was to record the trials and tribulations of 10 overweight teenagers as they learnt to live and hunt with the formerly fierce head-hunters of Borneo. A Remote Medical Practitioner/Safety Advisor accompanied the production prior to and during filming and was available 24/7 for advice and support on any safety or health issues. The production presented its own unique challenges due to its geographical remoteness and environmentally hostile conditions. The control measures put in place by the Remote Trauma safety team effectively reduced the risk to an acceptable level and ensured the safety of the crew and the contributors during filming.
