FIM Recommendations for a safe return to work of orchestra
musicians
I.
1.
performance venues and prohibit open-air concerts as soon as
their countries were hit by the pandemic. Three months later,
these measures have brought the music sector to its knees. Where
financial support has been made available for musicians,
orchestras or ensembles, it is generally limited in size, scope
and duration. In many cases, musicians are not eligible to any
support.
2.
audiences to re-open concert halls as soon as possible, to allow
artistic activity to resume. Depending on the national
situation, such re-opening may be gradually permitted as the
pandemic starts to recede, but it requires the adoption,
implementation and enforcement of adequate safety measures in
order to protect musicians against the risks arising from a
possible exposure to the sars-cov-2 as they return to work.
3.
Š
of infection that are specifically associated with music
performance, and
Š
address these risks, with the highest level of protection of
workers in mind.
II.
4.
confidence. To ensure reasonable confidence, such measures
should be clear, understandable, documented and consistent
across territories and venues.
5.
medical experts express diverging views, the most conservative
option should be favoured. The best example probably is the risk
of contamination via aerosols, for which limited documentation
is available. One appropriate response to this risk is to
maximise distancing and wear facemasks.
6.
at the workplace or the level of risk when traveling to the
workplace, he/she should, by default, be exempted from any work
obligation.
III.
7.
be in place before musicians return to work.
8.

representative trade unions.

Avoiding contact with potentially infected persons

available medical information) should be exempted from attending
any rehearsal or performance. Stricter measures (such as
systematic fever detection) should be considered with caution as
they may conflict with the confidentiality of personal medical
data.
12.
be above a minimum threshold. During rehearsals or performances,
an additional margin may be necessary as musicians tend to move
naturally when playing. Marks on the floor may help visualise
distances more easily. As minimum distance tends to vary from
country to country and to avoid suspicion or doubts, it is
recommended to opt for the most conservative option (the largest
distance). Consequently, two musicians should not share the same
music stand.
13.
number of individuals that can be present in the room at the
same time. The determination of this number depends on minimum
distancing (see para. 12) and other parameters linked to the
circulation of air in the room (see para. 19). It should be
transparent and easily verifiable. The characteristics of air
circulation in the room have an impact on how it may be used for
rehearsals or concerts.
14.
the same time, it is recommended to use separate entrance and
exit. Such measure is best enforced via a control at both
entrance and exit. It may render the access to green rooms or
bathrooms impossible as these rooms are generally equipped with
one single door.
15.
like narrow spaces or the need for very frequent sanitisation.
If access to the green room cannot be granted, solutions should
be identified for the safe storage of instruments cases, clothes
and other personal belongings (which also are potential virus
carriers). If access to bathrooms cannot be granted, the length
of rehearsals and concerts must be limited.
16.

signage (floor, walls) must be in place before the venue
reopens.
Avoiding contact with potentially contaminated objects

building.

carriers and must be sanitised with adequate products on a
regular basis. In particular, sanitisation of stands and chairs
must be carried out every time they are to be used by a
different musician.
Avoiding inhalation of potentially contaminated aerosols

and should therefore be subject to a specific assessment before
the venue is re-opened to musicians and the public.

wear it.

shields or other protection devices offering a comparable level
of protection, as advised by independent medical or scientific
experts.

performances as far as aerosols are concerned. However, several
aspects still need to be carefully addressed, e.g. : safe
traveling to the performance location, adequate distancing, safe
storage of instrument cases and personal effects, handling and
sanitising of chairs and music stands, safe access to bathrooms
(or limited duration of performances), audience-related issues
as well as more common problems arising from exposure to
unpredictable weather conditions (temperature, humidity, wind,
rain…).
VI.
24.
return to work as soon as possible, but there may at times be
diverging views on the assessment of what is actually
“possible”. While some employers may be inclined to minimise
certain risks, trade unions have a duty to do everything they
can to ensure the highest level of protection for the workers
they represent. They have a legitimate role to play in this
respect, which is recognised by ILO convention 155. No decision
or recommendation with a potential impact on the health and
safety of workers should therefore be taken or promulgated
without prior negotiation with their representative trade
unions.
