The language has changed in the Guidelines and we are good to go - now, very clearly, actors and stunt performers are BOTH considered "principal performers".
Revised Guideline CLICK HERE
WorkSafeBC did make one addition that everyone should be aware of:
All performers (both actors and stunts) will be required to have this PADI MEDICAL FORM CLICK completed by a physician.
This will be something that productions should know ahead of time so they can possibly add it to the actors initial medical if one is being done.
Here is WorkSafeBC's list of approved physicians for the required SCUBA medicals : DIVE PHYSICIANS CLICK
This information will be hosted on Stuntlist and the UBCP/ACTRA website for your future reference.
HUGE kudos and thanks go to Braden Haggerty for her expertise, persistence and leadership helping everyone through all the hoops we encountered in 2016!
