The Safety Pass Program was conceived by
the Motion Picture and Television Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety
Committee as a means of addressing the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration's ("OSHA") requirements that employees be trained
(and the training documented) in the safe use of equipment and work practices
on their job. Because of the freelance nature of many motion picture and
television assignments, the Safety Pass Program provides valuable assistance
in meeting the training needs of the Industry by providing industry-wide
general safety and skills training, thus allowing the Producers to
concentrate on site-specific training for the work at hand.
Safety Pass Program training consists of an introductory General Safety Pass
Course, which covers such topics as injury and illness prevention, personal
protection equipment, lifting safety, and hazard communication. Upon
completion, the individual is issued a Safety Passport in which his/her safety
training is recorded. Individuals are encouraged to show their safety passports
to current and prospective Industry employers. Additionally, once an
individual completes the basic general safety course, he/she is then eligible
to take other courses which impart safety information that is generic to all
trades and/or courses which offer both lecture and experiential instruction
about a specific craft or technique as well as the relevant safety issues.
All IATSE and Basic Craft members who are listed (with all information
current) on either the Industry Experience Roster or the Television
Commercial Roster are eligible to participate in the Safety Pass Program. In
the event that an individual works in a job classification which does not
have a Roster listing, the individual must meet certain minimum employment
experience in the Industry. Enrollment is based on a first-come, first-served
basis.
