Tomb Raider Series Broke UK Crew Safety Laws, Report Confirms, Months After Star Sophie Turner Injured in Separate Incident
Amazon MGM Studios' new Tomb Raider series broke health and safety laws during production, just months after filming had to be halted due to star Sophie Turner's on-set injury.
A new investigation has revealed that the production of the highly anticipated Tomb Raider series on Prime Video violated UK health and safety regulations, just months after star Sophie Turner suffered an injury on set. The series, which features a star-studded cast including Celia Imrie, Jason Isaacs, Sigourney Weaver, and Keeley Hawes playing Lara Croft's mother Amelia, was found to have neglected biological monitoring of potentially hazardous chemicals such as isocyanate paints.
These paints require specific protective equipment and proper handling protocols, which were not followed during production. The UK's Health and Safety Executive (HSE) intervened, stating that the series had breached the Health and Safety At Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. Despite the UK's frequent use as a filming location, this is the fourth HSE intervention in four years, making this incident particularly significant.
Earlier this year, Turner's back injury led to a two-week suspension of the entire production while she received treatment. The production initially began in January with a stellar lineup, but the specific release date remains undisclosed.
