- Holding areas (where extras wait for their set call) should be properly heated and ventilated with suitable emergency escapes and seating capacity.
- Cast and crew exposed to long hours in adverse exterior conditions (heat or cold stress) should be provided with appropriate items to combat such adverse conditions (i.e. , temporary shelter, heated washroom facilities, temporary heating devices, hot shots, hot drinks, blankets, adequate fluids, etc.) See Appendix C.
- The 1st Assistant Director should communicate the safety/emergency plan by either tailgate discussion or by call sheet, or both (see Safety Responsibilities and Duties, 1st Assistant Director).
