1. Plan execution of hazardous action sequences
   • In consultation with relevant personnel, check whether planned hazardous action sequences can be safely filmed in line with technical and script requirements
   • Inspect locations to determine suitable camera locations for coverage of hazardous action sequences
   • Identify skills needed to perform sequences and confirm all personnel have the required licences
   • Assess technical suitability of props, set and equipment to be used by the hazardous action sequence cast and crew to ensure they meet safety and production requirements
   • Determine positioning and movement of personnel involved in hazardous action sequences to facilitate visual continuity and editing
   • Plan and prepare alternative execution methods for hazardous action sequences
   • Review and discuss emergency plans to be implemented in the event of accidents
   • Confirm planned hazardous action sequences comply with legal and statutory approval requirements
2. Conduct personnel briefings
   • Prepare information about hazardous action sequences and distribute to relevant personnel with daily call and running sheets
   • Provide operational safety briefings to relevant personnel and confirm communication methods, chain of command, cues, and abort and emergency action procedures
   • Check relevant cast and crew members have received instructions about technical requirements for hazardous action sequences
3. Set up production equipment for hazardous action sequences
   • Supervise unloading, positioning and assembly of all equipment to be used in hazardous action sequences
   • Confirm equipment and handling procedures comply with required safety standards and regulatory requirements and resolve problems promptly
   • Confirm camera positions and check for latent safety issues
   • Clear the area of non-essential objects and unnecessary personnel
   • Within budgetary constraints, approve testing of hazardous action sequences
   • Negotiate revisions to hazardous action sequences if safety concerns arise as a result of tests
   • Abort hazardous action sequences where unacceptable risk is evident and advise relevant personnel
4. Safely execute hazardous action sequences
   • Check all personnel involved in action sequences are wearing the required personal protective equipment
   • Supervise execution of sequences according to production schedules and cues
   • Check relevant production personnel adhere strictly to safety controls and regulatory requirements during execution of sequences
   • Implement alternative safeguards for production personnel where variations to agreed plans occur
   • Abort hazardous action sequences where unacceptable risk arises, and advise relevant personnel
   • Check continuity is maintained throughout the execution of hazardous action sequences
5. Respond to emergency situations
   • Abort activity and implement emergency plans in the event of accidents
   • Remain calm and take a leadership role during emergencies
   • Clear the site of all personnel and if possible, remove items that may cause further injury
   • Advise relevant production personnel of emergency situations
6. Secure location on completion of hazardous action sequences
   • Supervise transport and storage of all materials, props and equipment used in hazardous action sequences in line with regulatory requirements
   • Leave location in a safe and secure state, and check all regulatory requirements have been met
   • Conduct post-sequence evaluations with relevant personnel and use results to guide future operations
   • Prepare final written reports as required
