CSATF's Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee states its bulletins are recommended guidelines, 'not binding laws or regulations', overridden by state, federal or local rules; the index lists bulletins 1-47, with #46 (Photographic Dust Effects) and #47 (Artificial Snow, spelled 'Artifical' in the source) issued 09/25/26, #4 (Stunts) revised 03/27/25 and #38A (Lightning) and #41 (Gimbals) revised 12/16/25 [csatf]. The UK HSE page states health and safety legal duties cannot be delegated and that in most cases the employer is the producer or production company; its leaflet INDG360 (first published 10/02) says it is good-practice guidance and tells production companies to undertake only work they have been adequately funded for [hse; indg360]. For budgeting, the practical link is that safety provisions (safety advisers, rigging, stunt and special-effects resources) have to be funded in the budget; the sources state the duty and the funding expectation but give no cost benchmarks.

Rationale:
Directly stated on the cited pages; the budgeting link in the last sentence is the collector's inference.

Counterevidence:
CSATF bulletin PDFs and HSE sheets (stunts, firearms, pyrotechnics, vehicles) were not opened, so hazard-specific requirements are unverified. INDG360 dates from 2002 and predates CDM 2015 references.

Uncertainty:
No cost benchmarks for safety provisions were found in any fetched source. Not safety, legal or compliance advice.
