In order to overcome the above challenges, we request our clients to follow these set of guidelines

1. Common Guidelines for everyone entering the premises
   • Once you arrive at the Studio premises, you are required to undergo basic screening (temperature, SpO2 Measurements) by the staff of Artriva Studios.
   • You sanitise yourself by washing hands with soap or an Alcohol-based hand sanitiser (containing 80% of alcohol by volume). Ref WHO Guidelines.
   • Since most sanitisers available in the market contain only about 62% of alcohol by volume we recommend you to use the sanitisers supplied by us.
   • There is a possibility of carrying the virus on the outer side of your mask. The studio is an air-conditioned environment where the virus can be airborne and potent for several minutes. Hence we suggest a new facemask.
   • You log the reading on our dedicated health log page.
   • You repeat temperature every two to three hours and log the data on the web form.
   • Plastic chairs are provided, as they are easier to sanitise (be free to use a wipe/sanitiser to clean the chair as and when necessary)
   • Bring your own bottle (BYOB). Sanitise your hand before & after touching common surfaces.
2. For Photographers / Organiser of the shoot (Clients hiring Artriva Studios)
   • You would responsible for reaching early to collect the sanitization kit (Hand Sanitiser, Gloves, Facemasks).
   • Keep your team size at a minimum (avoid people accompanying models / other artists). Guests are recommended to wait in the balcony or the terrace.
   • Ensure your support team wears gloves while handling garments. and other equipment.
   • Sanitisers with 80% alcohol contain very less water and also dry quickly and may be used as an alternative in small amounts (in case you do not have IPA to wipe your equipment)
   • Operate your equipment only when dry. Do not spray on equipment - ONLY WIPE.
   • Ask the Studio staff to handle lights & other equipment to ensure a minimum number of people come in contact with it even after multiple shoots.
   • Stagger the time when models arrive/leave/work if possible to reduce the risk of exposure.
3. For MUA/MUAH
   • It is your responsibility to sanitise all products, brushes and tools used beforehand.
   • Carry a sanitised set each model and do not mix them up. Carry small containers to segregate items.
   • Since you work in closed spaces, we recommend you wear a new N95 grade mask at all times.
4. For Models
   • Your safety is dependent on the rest of the team following guidelines at all times.
   • If possible, limit the time you spend inside the studio. You can wait in the balcony or the terrace (we now have a shaded area below the Solar Panels)
   • It is a good practice to write your name on your mask to avoid a mixup.
5. For Support team
   • Steam/Iron garments before handing over to the model (and ideally before packing too, or if the packed clothes are going to be untouched for a week or two)
   • Sanitise hands regularly, wear gloves (remember to replace with a new pair/use a new pair every time you enter the premises). Remember that gloves can also carry the virus and deposit it on to surfaces.
   • If possible you can also work in the balcony area for prepping garments.
6. For Artriva Studios
   • We understand that the efficacy all the above the efforts is high only when rules are followed for all shoots. We will try to keep an eye on compliance and remind/support you in following the same.
   • We will not be entertaining shoots with a very high team count (for example auditions: we have had instances where approx 30+ people were inside our premises)
   • We will enforce a buffer time between the time once client wraps up & another arrives (we are experimenting with a buffer time of 2hours between bookings, 1hr grace for the client, 1hr for sanitisation)

NOTE:

• These are not absolute rules, but a rough guideline and will be updated based on customer experience, emerging information about how the virus spreads and ease at which these can be followed.
• Supples made are chargeable at actuals (sanitiser, gloves, facemasks)
