Hi
In legal tersm I do not mean employer, anyone that "employs" someone to do a job for them owes that person(s) a duty of care, so in the legal context a producer that employes (books) a model to perform with another performer (whether for payment or not) is employing the performer during that perio (shoot) so in reply to your thoughts YES it does count.
The Duty of Care is not that complicated to show, all the producer needs to do is see & take a copy of the health cert of all performers concerned as as long as the "test" where carried out within a reasonable period of time (the industry accepts this as being 30 days) then the producer is covered so to say.
Here is a more comman example ; you employ someone to decorate your lounge, you owe this person a duty of care, suppose you lend them a ladder to do a job, the ladder is faulty and breaks, you could be liable for their injuries.
The law is simple & complex all at the same time.
Let be honest how many producers demonstate that they have public & emplyers liabilty?
Um thats another story.
Hope you are keep well, I think the B/G we did is out later this month.
