Safety Geeks: SVI was a comedy webseries released in 2009 that depicted the absurd events around a procedural investigation team.[1] The Professional Occupational Safety Hazard (P.O.S.H.) team fallaciously investigates safety violations and accidents. They are in fact "idiots" and as a result of their inept, well-meaning service, they cause considerable additional damage.[2][3]
The show incorporated over 1400 composite effect shots. It featured Brittney Powell, Tom Konkle, David Beeler, Benton Jennings, Mary Cseh, Steve Tom, Jim Woods, Mark Teich, Ransford Doherty. A single season and eleven episodes were filmed.[2] A 3D version of the show was released in 2010.[4]
The show was nominated for a Streamy webseries award in 2010 for "Best Visual Effects in a Web Series."[5]
