safety bulletin compliance for picture cars
What is a safety bulletin compliance for picture cars?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
Also called safety bulletins.
Safety bulletin compliance for picture cars means adhering to the recognized safety guidelines published by bodies such as the CSATF (Contract Services Administration Trust Fund) that govern the use of camera cars, process trailers, camera rigging, chase sequences, and picture car stunts on professional productions.
These bulletins define minimum crew qualifications, equipment standards, communication protocols, and risk management procedures. Non-compliance can result in production shutdowns, insurance voidance, or significant legal liability in the event of an incident.
Example
The bulletins cover camera cars, process trailers, stunt vehicles, and working near moving cars: who may ride where, what has to be briefed, and what is prohibited. They are the recognised baseline a production is measured against.
Figures are illustrative, chosen to show the mechanics rather than to quote market rates.
Where you'll see it
Applied by the stunt coordinator and transportation captain, and referenced in the safety brief.
Common mistake
Treating the bulletins as advisory. They are the recognized industry baseline, and a production measured against them after an incident will be measured on whether it followed them.
