Mining & Resources
Twenty five years on operational sites. We hold the tickets, we do your induction, and we've never had a site stop a shoot.
Most crews have never been on an operational site
They've shot a factory once. They turn up in runners, with a case full of gear nobody's risk assessed, and they want to know why they can't stand there. Your safety advisor makes a call. The day goes sideways. You spend the next fortnight explaining it.
That's the actual risk in resources content. Not the camera. The crew. Mining and gas sites run on inductions, permits and shift schedules that have nothing to do with a production timeline, and a crew that hasn't worked that way before will cost you the day before they cost you the shot.
What we hold
Industry Safety Induction through Safer Together, the energy industry's ticket to work, accepted by operators and contractors across the board. On top of it: confined space entry, gas detection, and working at heights.
We don't carry standing site tickets and we don't pretend to. We do your induction, on your site, to your standard, before we shoot. It means nobody is relying on a certificate issued somewhere else two years ago.
- Industry Safety Induction (ISI) via Safer Together
- Confined space entry, gas detection, working at heights
- $20 million public liability
- $10 million professional indemnity
- Workers compensation in place, certificates same day
Where we've been
Iron ore in the Pilbara at Newman, Jimblebar and Area C. Underground hard rock at Olympic Dam and Carrapateena. Metallurgical coal at Broadmeadow. The export terminal at Hay Point. Gas fields at Roma, Fairview, Arcadia Valley, Moranbah and Dalby, plus port and bulk handling at Gladstone.
BHP sent us around the country for a four-week national commission: seven sites, three states, seven separate induction regimes, one month, and no site stopped a shoot. We've built image libraries for Santos across Roma, Fairview and Arcadia Valley, produced recruitment and workforce content for Arrow Energy, delivered annual report photography for Gladstone Ports Corporation, and produced process safety content with Safer Together. Anglo American and QGC round out the client list.
Twenty five years, and we've never had a site stop a shoot.
What we do
- Mining video production, safety campaigns, site inductions, FIFO recruitment, shutdown documentation
- Mine site photography and image libraries built at scale
- Operations and capability films for boards, communities and regulators
- Process safety and critical risk campaigns
- Shutdown and turnaround documentation
- Community and landholder engagement content
Access and compliance
There are no standing tickets that get a crew onto every site. Each operation runs its own induction and its own permit system, and the work has to fit inside shutdown windows that are planned months out and don't move for anyone. We plan the induction and the permit lead time into the schedule as fixed time, not contingency, so the shoot doesn't lose its first day to a classroom nobody budgeted for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety induction does Welcome to the Fold's crew hold for mining and gas sites?
The Industry Safety Induction (ISI) through Safer Together, the energy industry's ticket to work. On top of that, confined space entry, gas detection and working at heights. We don't carry standing site tickets. We do your site induction, on your site, to your standard, every time.
What insurance does Welcome to the Fold carry to work on a resources site?
$20 million public liability, $10 million professional indemnity, and workers compensation in place. Certificates of currency available the same day you ask.
Which mining and resources companies has Welcome to the Fold worked with?
BHP, Santos, Arrow Energy, Anglo American, QGC, Gladstone Ports Corporation, QinetiQ and Interlate. Work has spanned underground hard rock, iron ore, coal, gas fields, export terminals and port infrastructure across Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.
Can Welcome to the Fold work on remote Queensland mine and gas sites?
Yes. Brisbane based, Queensland wide, interstate when it makes sense. We've taken a helicopter into a gas field when the roads went under, and we build contingency into every remote shoot because the weather doesn't check the schedule first.
