COVID-19 Best Practices Guideline
Protecting our members from the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace is a priority at ACTRA Montreal. The CNESST has recently updated their guidelines to ensure a safe working environment in the audiovisual industry (in French only). Notable changes took effect as of March 14, 2022 for all non-healthcare workers. For more details, click on the image and see the summary table.
We recommend that performers carefully familiarize themselves with both the CNESST Guidelines (Audiovisual Production) and with their specific Producer’s COVID-19 protocols/policies, and to regularly verify the CNESST website for updates. Thank you for your vigilance and your precious collaboration by continuing to do your part.
