Producers of the Western movie 'Rust' on Friday said they had agreed to pay a $100,000 civil fine for 'serious' workplace safety breaches prior to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico film set in 2021.

New Mexico's worker safety bureau last year levied its maximum possible fine against Rust Movie Productions for what it called the firm's “plain indifference” to hazards from weapons mishandling and accidental firearms discharges on set. “RMP violated workplace safety laws by exposing employees to being struck by discharged rounds or projectiles when firearms were used on the set,” the state's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau said in a statement.

“Our top priority has always been resuming production and completing this film so we can honour the life and work of Halyna Hutchins,” Melina Spadone, a lawyer for RMP said in a statement. “Settling this case rather than litigating is how we can best move forward.”
