COVID-19 SAFETY PLAN FOR PAUL CAMERON PRODUCTIONS

​

The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads in several ways. It can spread in droplets when a person coughs or sneezes. It can also spread if you touch a contaminated surface and then touch your face.

​

The risk of person-to-person transmission increases the closer you come to other people, the more time you spend near them, and the more people you come near.

​

The risk of surface transmission increases when many people contact the same surface and when those contacts happen over short periods of time.

​

Step 1: Assess the risks at your workplace

​

• We have involved frontline workers, supervisors, and the joint health and safety committee (or worker health and safety representative, if applicable).

• We have identified areas where people gather.

• We have identified job tasks and processes where workers are close to one another or members of the public. 

• We have identified the tools, machinery, and equipment that workers share while working.

• We have identified surfaces that people touch often.

​

​

Step 2: Implement protocols to reduce the risks

​

• We have reviewed industry-specific protocols on worksafebc.com to determine whether any are relevant to our industry.

• We have reviewed orders, guidance, and notices issued by the provincial health officer and relevant to our industry.

• We have reviewed our health and safety association or other professional and industry associations.

​

1. First level protection (elimination): Limit the number of people at the workplace and ensure physical distance whenever possible

   • ​Paul Cameron Productions is operated by two owners who live in the same house. Both members do all of the office work from home. 

   • Paul (the primary videographer) has been operating as a solo videographer to limit the number of people at the shoot. When at a shoot he always maintains a 2 meter distance from others.

2. ​Second level protection (engineering): Barriers and partitions

   • N/A

3. ​Third level protection (administrative): Rules and guidelines

   • All inquiries are managed through email or phone/video call. We currently do not meet with clients in person. 

   • Paul has been conducting all video shoots as a solo videographer. He is the only person handling his equipment. Any equipment a client comes in contact with (e.g. microphones) is sanitized after each use. 

4. ​Fourth level protection: Using masks (optional measure in addition to other control measures)

   • The videographer wears a mask indoors at all video shoots.

5. ​ Implement effective cleaning and hygiene practices

   • The videographer disinfects any equipment that comes in contact with clients.

   • The videographer sanitizes or washes hands before coming in contact with clients and frequently throughout the entirety of the shoot. 

​

​

Step 3: Develop policies

​

Our workplace policies ensure that workers and others showing symptoms of COVID-19 are prohibited from the workplace:

• Anyone who has had symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 10 days must self-isolate at home.

• Anyone who has been identified by Public Health as a close contact of someone with COVID-19.

• Anyone directed by Public Health to self-isolate.

• Anyone who has arrived from outside of Canada must self-isolate for 14 days and monitor for symptoms. Visitors are prohibited or limited in the workplace.

​

Our policy addresses workers who may start to feel ill at work. It includes the following:

• Sick workers should report to first aid, even with mild symptoms.

• Sick workers should be asked to wash or sanitize their hands, provided with a mask, and isolated. Ask the worker to go straight home. [Consult the BC COVID-19 Self-Assessment Tool, or call 811 for further guidance related to testing and self-isolation.]

• If the worker is severely ill (e.g., difficulty breathing, chest pain), call 911. 

• Clean and disinfect any surfaces that the ill worker has come into contact with.

 

​

Step 4: Develop communication plans and training

​

• The two operators of Paul Cameron Productions are both informed of the workplace policies and procedures.

• Both know the policies for staying home when sick. 

 

​

​

Step 5: Monitor your workplace and update your plans as necessary

​

• We have a plan in place to monitor risks.

• We make changes to our policies and procedures as necessary.

• When resolving safety issues, all staff are involved.
