Bulletin #4 says production management should allow time for rehearsals, training and inspections, engage a qualified person on set for every stunt sequence, hold an AD-led safety meeting with a walk-through before stunts, have medical personnel available at rehearsals and performances, and let a cast member decline a stunt and ask for a double. Addendum A adds call-sheet announcements the day before and day of, a list of driving conditions needing a qualified stunt driver, double options for pratfalls and consultation rights when performers are rigged with squibs. HSE's ETIS17 (rev2, 09/17) adds a hierarchy of control that asks first whether the stunt can be redesigned or replaced (including by CGI) and says the coordinator should liaise with the director.
