A report on the shooting death of Halina Hachins at the Alec Baldwin Rust Center said:
New Mexico Workplace Security Supervisors fined the film company $ 139,793 (£ 107,019) after an “impossible loss of life.”
“By not reviewing the procedures and taking corrective action, he has shown a lack of concern for the safety of the workers,” he said.
Cinematographer Hachins died in October 2021 after being shot by a Baldwin pistol during practice.
The actor was one of the producers of the film and was the star.
“In our investigation, Rust Movie Productions, LLC confirmed that this tragic event could never have happened if it had complied with national film industry standards for weapon safety,” said James Kenny, secretary of the State Environmental Protection Agency.
“This is a complete failure of the employer to comply with known national protocols that protect workers’ safety.”
The New Mexico Office of Occupational Health and Safety (OHSB) said the guidelines include the following.
Not to bring live ammunition to any studio or lot; That security meetings are held daily when weapons are used; And “refrain from pointing the device at anyone” unless the staff has consulted the shield bearer or other security agent.
OHSB added that the film company was not able to do so, although documents indicated that it was following the guidelines.
Rust Film Productions said in a statement that it did not agree with the findings and plans to appeal.
“Our thoughts and prayers will remain with Halina’s family,” he said.
One of the accusers was Sergei Svetnoi Baldwin, the head of lighting at Rust.
Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. The film’s director, Joel Suzanne, was injured.
According to Baldwin’s instructions, he pointed the gun at Mrs. Huchins, and he said he fired the trigger without thinking.
The actor is currently facing a number of charges, including that of script supervisor Mamie Mitchell and head of lighting Serge Svetnoi, as well as Mrs. Hachin’s family.
A separate criminal investigation is also underway.
In a December interview, Baldwin stated that he did not feel guilty about the shooting: “Someone is responsible for what happened. I know I am not.” “.
“She is loved by everyone and admired by all who work with her,” said Hachins.
