HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOL

The health, safety and welfare of our customers is of paramount importance to us. SK Photography has prepared this H&S Covid-19 Protocol to the best of the information that is available at this time.

By following this Covid-19 Protocol, we agree that we will reassure our customers, that we will follow the Covid-19 advice given by HM Government and our Local Authority appertaining to our business. In addition we will maintain a clean and safe environment for ourselves and our customers.

1. Studio cleaning policy

Before and after every studio session the studio is deep cleaned by using disinfectant / isopropyl alcohol and / or steam cleaning. All surfaces that could be touched and all props used are sanitised. All blankets and outfits used are washed between portrait sessions. The studio will be aired thoroughly to minimise any droplets in the air.

2. Time between sessions

At least 1 hour will be left between sessions to enable a deep clean of all surfaces and accessories to take place and to ensure there is no contact between customers arriving and leaving the premises.

3. Sick policy

Customers will be required to disclose if anyone coming to the session has had a fever or any other symptoms such as coughs, sickness or vomiting or has been in contact with anyone displaying Covid-19 symptoms, suspected of having Covid-19 or has had a Covid-19 positive test result at least 24 hours before their session. Appointments will be re-arranged, at no cost.

4. Self monitoring

All photographers / staff and customers will be required to monitor their temperatures and health before coming into the studio. Staff and customers are required to wear a face covering or mask during the session which may be removed while the photographs are being taken.

5. Hand washing & face covering.

All photographers and staff will be required to thoroughly wash their hands for a minimum of 20 seconds before all sessions. Appropriate sanitising hand gels will be made available and customers requested to use these upon arrival at the studio. Staff and customers will be required to wear an appropriate face covering / mask while they are inside the studio which may be removed only while the photographs are taken.

6. Social distancing

All photographers and staff agree that every effort will be made to keep the 2m social distancing advice at all times where possible both in the studio and on location. This includes shaking hands and moving / adjusting hair or clothes. Only two people other than staff should be in the studio at the same time. Others are requested to remain outside or in their car while the photographs are taken and to swop if necessary. Parents may be asked to help move their children and babies as requested by the photographer. During the portrait session instructions to the clients will be given from the distance stipulated by and in accordance with the social distancing rules.

Due to the restrictions imposed by social distancing, it may not be appropriate to offer our usual studio sessions and poses, particularly with regard to newborn and maternity sessions.

The studio will operate an appointment only booking system to ensure no contact between customers and minimise risk to photographers and staff by ensuring that the measures on this protocol are conveyed to customers before their appointments.

The studio will, upon request, put in place a bespoke Health & Safety plan to meet the specific requirements of a portrait session / customer.

7. Continuing updates

As part of signing up to the Protocol we commit to checking for continuing updates of the covid-19-protocol and make adjustments in accordance with any new regulations issued by HM Government or our Local Authority.
