Screen Producers Ireland provides updated Return to Production Guidelines for creative screen content industry
07 Apr 2021 : News Desk
Screen Producers Ireland (SPI), working closely with Industry Stakeholders, has developed Return to Production Guidelines for the Film, TV Drama and Factual genres of the creative screen content industry.

The Production Guidelines includes information on options for modifying work structures to help to reduce contact, how to implement an effective cleaning and sanitation regime to reduce risk of transmission of COVID19, and options for minimising risk for activities such as costuming and make-up. While each production will be required to develop specific ways of working based on their individual risk assessments, this guidance document helps to translate the government protocols and public health guidance into a workable approach for the unique world of screen content production.

The Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht has confirmed that these guidelines adhere to Government COVID19 health and safety guidelines and the Guidance is separated into two documents: one of for Live Action, i.e. Feature Film and TV Drama, and one for Factual and Entertainment production.

Factual and Entertainment Guidance Document here

The SPI Covid-19 Production Guidelines for the Irish Film and Television (Live Action) and Factual and Entertainment funded by Screen Ireland’s Stakeholder Funding Scheme have been updated to reflect evolving Public Health Guidance, Government Protocol and to reflect on the ground learnings. These documents have undergone a QA process with the Department of TCAGSM prior to publication.

Noted below are key changes, but all productions should review the documents in their entirety. As noted this situation is continually evolving and productions should ensure they are cross referencing industry guidance with the most up to date Government, HSE, HSA and Public Health Advice- links to these resources are captured in the guidance documents. This guidance is not a substitute for production specific risk assessments and Covid-19 Protocols- but should help to inform the development of these documents.
