Figures suggest the latest Omicron wave is only now starting to slowly subside. To give an idea of the scale of the wave, the 6 months from October 2021 to February 2022 saw more than double the proportion of the population infected when compared with the 20 months between April 2020 and October 2021.
The Production Safety Passport (PSP) is an industry-led scheme to support the mutual recognition of health and safety training in the creative media industries. The scheme helps productions stay safe by ensuring crew and management have quality training, enabling delegates with the confidence that they are benchmarked by industry-approved health and safety training.
If your production involves stories around vulnerable contributors, or the content is likely to be distressing/challenging then you should consider your duty of care to your contributors and the production staff involved in capturing and dealing with those stories.
