Protecting crew – COVID-19 policy for production storage and logistics
CAMA are ready to help productions comply with the British Film Commission’s Coronavirus – COVID 19 guidance for film and high end TV productions.
CAMA WorkSpace have also been working closely with with H&S consultant Tony Smith-Allen who ensures the team keeps themselves and the productions safe in these challenging times.
All the CAMA team who are supporting productions will have taken the official Screen Skills Coronavirus basic awareness on production training.
We have also attended The Production Guild’s ‘COVID-19 in Production’ with Paul Greeves and Sean Derrig from First Option Safety.
We are listed as a recommended supplier on Film London’s COVID-19 resource list here.
We have produced detailed and comprehensive guidelines that can be found here. CAMA Production COVID-19 Policy August
In particular we can support shows by:
- providing quarantining and decontamination of assets for reshoots
- an online inventory, listing all assets related to a production and its status (ie in terms of cleaning and quarantine)
- storage, transportation & logistics
- the safe distribution and repurposing of assets following the shoot
CAMA can provide short and long term quarantine solutions for assets, including the packing, delivery & collection of items from a show, including props, sets, costumes and office items for all the departments.
The CAMA crew are set up to provide decontamination of assets either on set when packing away or at the CAMA warehouses.
Using CAMA’s online inventory – each item can be photographed and listed on their online database, outlining any special cleaning or storage requirements. As well as details about where the asset has been. The item can be stored, delivered, cleaned or collected by the CAMA crew.
Film and TV production crew will not need to physically touch or source assets from warehouses. The CAMA crew can provide this service safely – either packing away from a shoot – or delivering items for a reshoot.
In terms of transport and logistics – we will limit the number of drivers and all CAMA crew. All the CAMA team have upgraded PPE equipment and hand sanitiser and wipes for vehicles, doors and anything that is touched by the team.
At the storage and transport CAMA hubs across east London, we are booking in time slots to avoid too many crew being present at the different sites.
