Hi Posting it on behalf of my friend. He is an experienced safety engineer with 5 years of experience. Currently working as HSE advisor in abroad. He wanted to be with his family in India. Past two months hardly searching for job here no luck. Seems safety openings are low in India. Now he planned to do SAP EHS course so that he may switch his career.That may get job in India. Wanted to know the scope of SAP EHS in India. Any suggestion/guidance will be definitely helpful.

Well, that's a new trend.

Any good headhunters for production?
Providing an honest and transparent plan for how you plan to keep people as safe as possible is the best path forward. There is currently no way to know if someone contracted COVID on your production. Hire your production company and your talent with agreed upon safety protocols to mitigate risk. The reality is there will always be risk until there is a vaccine and even then there is not guarantee you won’t get sick. Certainly uncharted waters here.
I haven’t seen waivers yet. Just union guys saying they’ll never sign a waiver, and threatening to sue anyone and everyone within arm’s reach if (and when) productions start up again regardless.
That’s crazy. This will just push more people to shoot non-union or overseas. 🤦♂️
I don’t know anyone signing the AICP waiver. Ask your legal counsel for recommended language. We put a note on our production contract for a very small remote shoot stating that the prod co acknowledges the risk of contracting Covid and assumes the entirety of the risk, no responsibility of agency or client.
AICP has guidelines on their site per department. There will be safety and hygiene measures required, and will add time to your day. Crews will likely be kept to a minimum.
Good luck, stay safe!

That may be the first silver lining I’ve seen! And I hadn’t thought of it.
We tried to do something along these lines for a shoot in March, as things were hitting the fan here. We were told by the production company that it was against their collective bargaining agreement with the union and they wouldn’t allow it.
I don’t but wondering how the person onset would prove they got it on your shoot vs from a grocery store, a delivery person, grabbing their morning coffee, etc. Especially with the length of time the symptoms take to show up. Would be a very interesting court case if someone tried to sue.
Fair enough @HOP1. Wonder how long tracing will take to properly get in the U.S. We are so slow compared to other countries.
Not sure about waivers, but we’re doing productions that don’t require them because they’re fully remote. High quality video and remote casting and direction. Feel free to reach out if you want more info. Morolake@lair.tv

And will a waiver really hold up in court?
Crews in Madison WI have gotten together to create their own waiver that indemnifies the agency and client and prod company if any of them get sick. It was created by crew members so they are not forced to sign something. They all want to go back to work and it’s a tight knit non union community there. Happy to put you in touch with a prod company there if you want more info just DM me
in addition to the AICP guidelines, DGA, IATSE and other entities are working on guidelines. A larger issue is that many insurance companies are not insuring productions. There are some safer ways to shoot that require no or little contact which you may have to consider. Some television shows are talking about having cast and crew quarantine for 2 weeks in the same hotel then have everyone continue to stay in that same hotel together until production is complete.

Imagine having to pay a full crew to sit in a hotel for two weeks. That’s going to be a fun conversation with a cost consultant. 😀
