Perform hazardous action sequences using vehicles
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
A range of performers can provide background driving activities for screen production where risk is assessed as minimal to other cast and crew.
However, hazardous action sequences involving vehicles must be delivered by recognised hazardous action performers, under the strict guidance of stunt coordinators and fight directors. These key personnel are responsible for liaising with background drivers, hazardous action performers, assistant directors, producers, location managers, cast members and specialist production staff both on location and in the studio.
The role of the background driving and hazardous action sequence performer is to ensure that the set up, rehearsal, performance and review of both background driving and advanced stunt driving activities comply with creative direction, existing screen safety reports and industry codes of practice.
Performers are responsible for ensuring that all aspects of action sequences they perform minimise risk to themselves and other cast and crew members.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required for the safe execution of hazardous action sequences using vehicles during screen productions.
Industry-graded stunt performers require a broad range of licences and certificates. A certified advanced driving course and class of licence relevant to vehicle types are required for background driving tasks in screen productions.
