[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long work hours aren't unsafe, and not getting put up in Santa Fe hotels isn't unsafe.

Filming during covid is stressful and unfun but still happening.  What happened is that someone made a mistake.  Whether it was the head armorer or someone else will be determined. [/quote]

Long hours are absolute unsafe when your job is to handle heavy equipment (like cameras, sets, and other equipment common on film sets). That is how people get hurt.

Long hours are also unsafe if your job involves handling dangerous materials (guns, explosives, etc.) that requires focus and strict adherence to a detailed protocol. We don’t know why protocol was not followed on this set, but the fact that crews were working 14 hour days with proper rest and accommodations is a red flag in terms of the kind of environment people were in.

Accommodations can contribute to safety as well. I do t know the circumstances in this set, but one reason to request hotel accommodations is if onset accommodations are dirty, noisy, pest infested, or otherwise likely to interfere with general standards of comfort necessary to get quality rest. Asking for access to a Days Inn or something is not an entitled demand. People need to sleep.[/quote]
