Ensuring Compliance in Videos

Videography should be done in a manner that does not run afoul of privacy, safety, and research-subject compliance.

• For OSHA compliance guidance (for facilities, worksites, etc.), contact Meghan Marsh (meghanmarsh@vt.edu).
• For research compliance guidance (for depicting animals, laboratory settings, etc.), contact Lindsey Haugh (jangus@vt.edu).
• For use of drones to obtain videos, refer to the Drone Policy.
