PERG group to address safe return to work
- Details
The task group was assembled by the Production Equipment Rental Group (part of entertainment trade association ESTA). The objective is to provide a unified set of industry-wide guidelines that address health and safety challenges related to the rental of production equipment and ensure that any risks to production companies, studios, and customers are minimised.
The task group is working with other industry groups to ensure that PERG’s recommendations address client needs and concerns and harmonize with safety protocols developed by the studios and others, while also adhering to the recommendations of the CDC, OSHA, and state and local health departments. The group recognizes the challenges of providing protection against contagion for cast and crew on set. PERG aims to alleviate at least part of that challenge by giving productions full confidence in their equipment partners.
