Amazon’s Tomb Raider series hit with UK safety warning: hazardous paint chemicals cited
Filming continued after producers fixed isocyanate exposure controls

In April 2026, Amazon Prime Video’s Tomb Raider series turned up in an official UK safety warning from the Health and Safety Executive. That month, the HSE issued an improvement notice to Project Temple Productions Ltd after finding breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. According to the notice, Project Temple Productions Ltd had failed to properly monitor and control crew exposure to isocyanate paints, which the HSE said are linked to occupational asthma and other respiratory risks.
If you’re following the show, here’s the part that matters: the HSE notice didn’t stop filming, and Project Temple Productions Ltd later met the required measures. The case was also separate from Sophie Turner’s earlier minor on-set injury, which had briefly paused work.
So yes, you should still expect the series to arrive on Prime Video. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is writing and creating it, Sophie Turner stars with Sigourney Weaver and Jason Isaacs, and production began in January 2026 at Shinfield Studios before moving to Spain.
It also lands in the middle of a much bigger conversation in the UK about unsafe sets, long hours, fatigue, and how productions handle risk. Even a major streaming series still has to follow basic workplace safety rules.
