The policy insured the production of "Rust" in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

It offered up to $2,000,000 in aggregate liability protection.

Insurance covers financial losses due to injuries or damages that are caused by the set.

According to an Insider certificate of liability insurance, Alec Baldwin's film "Rust", was covered up to $1,000,000 in injuries and damages to set and $1 million workers' compensation.

Through a public records request to Santa Fe Film Office, Insider was provided with the certificate of liability insurance.

Additional $5 million of commercial umbrella coverage is included in the policy, which provides $6 million of insurance protection.

Baldwin discharged a prop gun on set at Santa Fe, New Mexico last week. It killed Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer, and injures Joel Souza, the director. The gun may have contained a "liveround" unbeknownst to the actor.

This incident occurred just hours after union workers had reportedly protested unsafe working conditions. According to the Los Angeles Times, they were replaced by nonunion staff.

According to the Times, "Rust" could be sued for negligence.
