TRAINING FUND PARTNERSHIPS
Contract Services partners with other industry organizations to bring Safety
Pass courses to a broader audience through additional formats. By working
together, we can enlarge our reach and our impact while building a stronger
culture of safety throughout the industry.
Directors Guild of America Training
As part of the Safety Pass program, Contract Services, in collaboration
with the Directors Guild-Producer Training Plan (DGPTP), designed a safety
course specifically for Directors Guild of America (DGA) members. The result-
ing safety course consists of Contract Services’ “A” course as well as instruc-
tion regarding production safety that is tailored to the role of Unit Production
Managers, Assistant Directors, Stage Managers and Associate Directors.
Additionally, Contract Services and the East Coast-based Assistant Director
Training Program Trust Fund collaborated to develop a separate East Coast
course for Assistant Director Training Program–New York (ADTPNY) partici-
pants. This safety training covers specific laws and issues common to filming
in the New York/New Jersey region.
Nearly 4,000 DGA members have accounted for over 11,000 hours of training
received under these two courses since they were first offered.
