Back to Work Plan

BACK TO WORK PLAN

Given the renewed focus on health and public safety of the Entertainment Industry, the following Back-toWork Plan checklist must be used to reduce the risk of exposure and lowering the impact of this virus in our workplace, and provide everyone a comfort level of working in a safe operating environment. This plan incorporates best practices recommended by the CDC, health agencies and state and local governments. In this tumultuous time, it is important we all follow these best practices for the health of all of our employees and customers.

These guidelines will be applied to all of our Cinelease Operating Branches and Managed Studio Facilities.

DISINFECTION REMINDERS

CUSTOMER SERVICE AREA

WORKSTATIONS/DESKS/OFFICES

• Disinfectants must be EPA-registered and labeled as bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal. • Disinfection only works on a clean surface, so cleaning before disinfecting is always the first step.

Methods to clean include soap/water, chemical cleaners, and wipes. • Contact time listed on the label must be observed for disinfectants to work. The contact time refers to how long the surface must stay visibly wet with the disinfectant to inactivate or destroy all the pathogens on the surface.

Wipe down all soft surfaces (couches, chairs) with EPA registered disinfectants and a clean towel Clean and disinfect all hard, non-porous surfaces such as counter, computer keyboard, phones, door handles and light switches Schedule appointments in order to minimize the number of customers at counter or at reception Wipe down counter and disinfect after each customer Place signage at entry point to notify customers of your diligence in practicing proper infection control Place barriers/partitions around customer/employee contact areas Disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizers to be visible in this area

Clean and disinfect all non-porous surfaces such as keyboard, phone, light switches, desktop Clean and disinfect any drawers, containers, storage lockers Restrict access to workstations: employees must only use their phone and keyboard and their own desk Add physical distance tape or stickers around workstations Individual office doors must remain closed during the day

EMPLOYEE TRAINING

An effective Back to Work plan includes educating and training all employees of the COVID-19 prevention guidance that is provided by the CDC, other health agencies and state and local governmental bodies. The training topics and protocols should include but are not limited to: • Educating employees about the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and all known risk factors • Hand washing, including proper techniques • Proper cleaning and disinfection techniques • The proper use of PPE, with focus on safe donning and doffing • Company’s new COVID-19 working policies and procedures for the office, warehouse, and work from home environments • Training principles should be reinforced by posting signage around office and warehouse areas • Description of training and attendance should be documented • The best practice training format is for on-line or teleconferencing training sessions • Any classroom based training should adhere to the Company guidelines for physical distancing, scheduled in small groups and employees should wear the appropriate PPE for each training session • Training material should be easy to understand and in the employee’s native language

These are some of the steps that Cinelease will be taking in order to ensure the health and safety of our employees and customers.

1. Routine cleaning and disinfecting for proper infection control will become integrated into daily

opertaions. Standard operating procudures are being reevaluated to optomize for proper disinfection of every non-porus surface and equipment, prior to use. Cinelease will also be asking staff to take initiative to regularly sanitize and disinfect commonly utilized personal surfaces such as work stations, desks, keyboards, computers, phones, and writing utensils. 2. Remember contact time. The most important step of the disinfection process is to allow the chemical time to work! Read all disinfectant labels to know the correct time frame. For some concentrate and disinfectants, that contact time is 10 minutes. 3. Hand hygiene. Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds before and after every customer interaction, especially after handling equipment.
