Use the stunts, firearms, replicas and special-effects guidance in the original libraries. These activities require qualified specialists, approvals and task-specific procedures.

Questions before work starts

  • Who is the named specialist in charge of this activity?
  • Has the plan been explained to all affected departments, with rehearsal where appropriate?
  • Does everyone know the restricted area and stop signal?

Your supervisor or qualified specialist still needs to assess the task and explain the procedure.
