CINELEASE COVID-19 PROTOCOL

COVID – 19 RESPONSE Cinelease has held safety as a center of our core values for over 40 years, as we care deeply about the security and health of our team members, our customers, and all of our families. We have always made it a priority to provide a safe, clean, and efficient working environment for everyone working within each of our operating locations. This is especially important during these extraordinary times of COVID-19. Cinelease Management, from the guidance our parent Herc Rentals, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), health agencies and state/ local government, have established the Cinelease Operating Protocols (COP), to reduce the risk of exposure and lowering the impact of this virus in our workplace, with the main goal to keep our team members and customers safe while conducting business at all Cinelease Branch and Studio facilities. All Cinelease Branch and Studio locations will follow these general protocols, and in addition, will formulate protocols specific to their operating environments, based on facility size, employee workforce, operating practices, and conditions unique to each location. We will continue to review our protocols and will revise or adjust these protocols upon any updated guidance from the CDC, and we will closely monitor and follow updated orders coming from health agencies and the state/local governments in which we operate.

Be Well. Cinelease Management

CINELEASE COVID-19 PROTOCOL

TERMS TO KNOW CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) Is a United States federal agency, under the Department of Health and Human Services. Its main goal is to protect public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability in the US and internationally. CLEANING VS. SANITIZING Cleaning removes a soil from a surface such as a countertop or piece of equipment. Sanitizing is the application of a sanitizing agent that reduces the number of pathogens on that clean surface. EPA REGISTERED DISINFECTANTS A disinfectant solution approved for sanitizing surfaces, tools and equipment. Examples include: ALCOHOL A colorless, flammable, water-soluble liquid, C3H8O, produced from propylene by the action of sulfuric acid and hydrolysis: used chiefly in the manufacture of antifreeze and rubbing alcohol and as a solvent. BARBICIDE Active ingredient is Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (5.12% by volume) sodium nitrite and blue dye are also present. DISINFECTING WIPES Wipe that has active ingredients for disinfecting surfaces. The ingredients will vary manufacture to manufacture. FACE COVERING A face covering is a cloth material that covers the nose and mouth. A face covering can be secured to the head with ties or straps or simply wrapped around the lower face. It can be made of a variety of materials, such as cotton, silk, or linen. N95 or medical use masks are NOT recommended.

HAND SANITIZER Hand sanitizer is a liquid gel agent applied to the hands for the purpose of removing common pathogens (disease-causing organisms). Recommened hand sanitizier must contain at least 60% alcohol. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Is protective clothing, face shields, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer’s body from injury or infection. PHYSICAL DISTANCING Per the CDC, means keeping at least 6 feet between yourself and other people. CLEAR PLASTIC BARRIER/PARTITIONS Strategies designed to protect workers from hazardous conditions by placing a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Engineering controls involve a physical change to the workplace itself, rather than relying on workers’ behavior or requiring workers to wear protective clothing. QUARANTINE PERIOD A period of time that must elapse before the equipment or gear potentially exposed to a contagious disease can be considered as incapable transmitting the disease. UV-C LED LIGHTING Germicidal UV or UV-C is part of the ultraviolet spectrum best known for its ability to inactivate pathogens like bacteria and viruses. It utilizes specific wavelengths of the ultraviolet spectrum, typically between 200 to 280 nanometers. Germicidal UV is typically used to disinfect rooms and surfaces.

GLOVES Synthetic (nitrile rubber) disposable gloves.

CINELEASE COVID-19 PROTOCOL

BACK TO WORK PLAN

DISINFECTION REMINDERS •

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.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AREA 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

WORKSTATIONS/DESKS/OFFICES 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

CINELEASE COVID-19 PROTOCOL

CINELEASE COVID-19 PROTOCOL

BACK TO WORK PLAN

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.

CINELEASE COVID-19 PROTOCOL

EQUIPMENT & VEHICLE DISINFECTING PROCEDURES

CINELEASE COVID-19 PROTOCOL

EQUIPMENT DISINFECTING PROCEDURES Each Branch will set up these specific protocols to ensure that all equipment received from outside sources go through a complete and thorough disinfecting and cleaning process. This will reduce the risk of spreading the virus that causes COVID-19, as the CDC indicates that the virus may be viable up to days on various surfaces made from a variety of materials, and thus can be transmitted from these surfaces to one’s mouth, eyes or nose.

SANITIZING AREAS •

Partitioned and segregated sanitizing area will be created, preferably outdoors, to process equipment through the disinfecting and cleaning procedures.

•

Additional segregated areas should be created, either outside or inside the warehouse to quarantine equipment, which is another method of disinfecting equipment by isolation. This process does not require using chemical disinfectants.

•

Creating segregated areas will control the mix of sanitized and non-sanitized equipment at the facility to reduce the risk of cross contamination from incoming equipment and outgoing sanitized equipment.

DISINFECTING PROTOCOLS •

Employees should wear the appropriate PPE while cleaning and disinfecting equipment.

•

The Manufacturers recommendations will be followed to sanitize each type of equipment.

•

Various approved EPA Registered Disinfectants, which are safe for electronics, should be used to wipe down or spray the equipment as needed. Paper towel, shop towels, and sprayers should be utilized in this process.

•

Contact times of each disinfectant varies, so equipment should not be wiped down until the contact time has been met.

•

Certain types of products are better served to be sanitized by a quarantine period, due to the type of surface, such as (i.e. textile products, flags and overheads).

RETURN TO INVENTORY •

Once equipment has been sanitized through the disinfecting process, it should be placed back on the shelf. Any equipment place back on the shelf is considered sanitized and ready for the next rental.

•

Employees should remove any disposable gloves and place them in the appropriate waste container and should wash their hands using appropriate hand washing protocols.

CINELEASE COVID-19 PROTOCOL
