During the filming of the Tomb Raider series with Sophie Turner, Britain's safety rules were violated many times

The UK's Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has ruled that production on Amazon MGM Studios' Tomb Raider series broke workplace safety laws during filming at Shinfield Studios earlier this year.

Deadline reports that Project Temple Productions Ltd, the special purpose vehicle set up to produce the show starring Sophie Turner, breached the Health and Safety At Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. Amazon MGM Studios declined to comment.

The violations relate to how the set was prepared for filming

According to HSE, Project Temple Productions failed to carry out "biological monitoring" of crew members needed to keep proper control measures in place while spraying isocyanate paints – one of the leading causes of workplace asthma.

HSE guidance requires personal protective equipment when spraying isocyanate paints, since the substance creates an "invisible mist" that can linger for up to 20 minutes. Employers must know exactly how long it takes for that mist to clear in whatever space they're working in.

HSE rarely hands out these notices to TV productions – only four shows have been flagged over the past four years, and Tomb Raider is by far the highest-profile case among them.

Safety violations weren't the only hiccup on set. Turner suffered a minor injury during filming, forcing production to pause for around two weeks so the Game of Thrones star could recover.

Amazon MGM Studios produces the series for Prime Video alongside Crystal Dynamics. Turner leads a cast that also includes Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Sasha Luss and others.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge serves as creator, writer, executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Chad Hodge, who is also an executive producer. Jonathan Van Tulleken is directing and producing.

No release date has been set yet.
