Solved

marine or water safety - should it be in stunts or additional crew?

This might come under individual's choice but does IMDb have a preference for where this credit is placed?

In the past I have seen the same person carrying out the role with credits in both sections for different projects.

I noticed that the system has suggested placing the "water safety" credit in Stunts unless I choose to move back to Additional Crew, I can't remember being offered this choice for "marine safety".

Which should I use in the future?

Hello leylandtiger

Based on the Crew Guidelines, we would add the credits in the Additional Crew section.

I'm not sure what you get from the Crew Guidelines about either "water safety" or "marine safety" placement, apart from being written in lowercase.

I was trying to clarify which Department the role should be entered into - Stunts or Additional Crew.

The system automatically suggested the "water safety" role be placed in Stunts instead of Additional Crew.

The "marine safety" had been placed in Additional Crew with no issue or question.

I'm not sure how IMDB would define the difference between the 2 roles to determine if they are Stunts or Additional Crew.

So should I move the "water safety" into Additional Crew instead?

The guidelines actually mention "water safety coordinator" as included under Health and Safety Department.

But in the update form, "water safety" is one of the suggested roles under Stunts, which is probably also why the credit is moved there.

It's possible that such roles could sometimes be associated with stunts and sometimes not. Sometimes the screen credits may clarify it.
