Managing the risk of Covid-19 in TV Production

Broadcasters are now updating the TV Production Guidance published last month in line with the most up-to-date advice from government. For the latest information on staying safe in TV production, ScreenSkills has convened a panel of experts for an online session that is essential for anyone working in television.

Speakers

• Simon Adair, Director of Safety, Security and Resilience, BBC
• Ruth Denyer, Group Risk Director, ITV,
• Arlette Gard, Safety Consultant, First Option
• Zoe Davies, Senior Health & Safety Advisor, IMG
• Owen Yorath, Group Head of Health and Safety, Sky

The panel will be chaired by Nick Catliff, Chief Content Officer, Lion TV.

What it covers

This panel session will include discussion on how the latest guidance relates to:

• vulnerable people
• track and trace - how a production should deal with everyone that has been in contact with someone who has tested positive
• children
• how to introduce testing if people have to come into close contact with each other

Time will be allowed for Q & A.
